pepper
Michael brought this plant home from his work the other day, they were giving them away (they give away the ones too dejected to sell.) I know it is some kind of pepper/chili but I am not sure what kind, it had no tag.

Michael says there was a sign by them that said “Do Not Eat” but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is not edible, it just may have been treated with a bunch of chemicals. It might be some kind of ornamental though.

Peppers are an annual right? I might dry these peppers for decoration…

Does anyone know what variety this is?

    I grew some in my garden last year. Chris planted them as ornamentals, and they grew so big that they were almost the size of shrubs. I don’t remember what they are called, but I do remember that, while they could be eaten, they were uber hot. This from the gal who likes hot sauce and crushed red pepper on everything. And, yes, I tried to eat them. I dehydrated them and snipped them up and tried to use them as seasoning. MAKE SURE you wash your hands thoroughly if you touch them.

    I would highly suggest talking with Frisket on dA. I believe she’s the person that LOVES to collect/grow peppers.
