The real Peppadew will turn the same color of red that I see in your Thai Bird picture. I have some turning in the garden now. I'll try to remember to get some pictures when they fully turn.

Remember, for most folks, Peppadew is a very late plant with its fruit. Several folks here at T'ville over-winter plants to get more production in a given season. Otherwise, even here in zone 6a, after being one of the first plants in my garden this year, it is only now really setting fruit and beginning to color up. Last year, it was setting fruit and was really loaded up when our first frost hit.

My over wintered plant still only has green fruit and in a greenhouse too. Last year I started very very early and did ripen a few on the first year but very few.
