Pretty standard Habanero flavor and heat. Maybe slightly less floral and a little more fruity than some chinense. I enjoy them. Plants can be very productive. We are lucky to carry them in our local Co-Op every year and I just made a batch of fermented hot siracha using these and red Fresno chilies. Again, very thin walled.

Bishop's cap pepper, mine was called "Christmas Bell." The flesh is sweet, walls are thin, and there's heat in the inner membranes & seeds. They are quite prolific! They're listed as 5,000-15,000 SHU. If you carefully remove all membranes & seeds, you could use them as sweet peppers. Cute little odd-shaped peppers about 1 1/2" in diameter. They're good green or red. I have seeds if you want them.

Nan, I've got seeds for those. Thanks for the offer. I didn't realize they were C. baccatum. I've been wanting to try them out. That's great to hear about them being usable green. Are they fruity-tasting?

Just planted a variety I have never tried but it sounds like one you asked about. It is Nick's Thin Skin it is a sweet pepper from Sand Hill and the description says it is from Italy.
