Naga Jolokia Purple and ...

Starlight · August 12, 2015

Has anybody grown this before. I am wondering what I have and what to expect when I grow these seeds out. I got seed from a friend overseas and when I google Naga Jolokia Purple I see two types of peppers.

One looks like a purple Bhut and the other is this long, twisty, skinny pepper. Can anybody tell me what I should end up with?

Also ... I have seed and think the spelling might be wrong because I can't find any info. These seed came from a swap and the same friend and they are labeled Biber Gediz. Anybody have any info or correct spelling for them?

Yes I have grown Purple Bhut last two years but not in the future.
It is the longer version... As you say a bit twisty.. Red when young and turns purple almost black when ripe... Flavour so so and almost NO heat.
Quite a prolific bush..stands about 4 foot in height.
I am giving it a miss as there are so many others with more positive features ( for me anyway )...but it is a very easy one to grow.

Biber Gediz iis a Turkish pepper from Gediz, Turkey. I've never run across fresh ones but I have seen them pickled in the Middle Eastern Markets around here.
