Aloha from Hilo, Hawaii

I've purchased an attractive pepper once again from the local garden store. This one is called "Hawaii Giant". Here is a list of descriptors for the plant:

1. Peduncle intermediate at anthesis
2. Only one flower stalk at junction
3. Plant habit erect
4. Calyx margin intermediate
5. Annular constriction at junction of calyx and peduncle absent
6. Neck at base of fruit absent
7. Fruit outline slightly to intermediate corrugated
8. Fruit shape sunken at apex
9. Fruit shape truncate at peduncle attachment

  1. Fruit is pendent
  2. Fruit is ~1 � - 1 � inches long and ~ 5/8 inch in diameter.

The fruit is red when ripe and seems moderately hot to me. I believe that it's an annuum variety of some sort but the plant nursery won't give me any information as to origin or whatever.

I'd like to know more about these little guys and would be grateful for whatever advice you folks could give.
