| Comes with a lot of different names. Goat weed , Vietnamese Black Dragon , Black Cobra , Chile Negro de Arbol , Black Chile Grande and a few more. Some versions or strains are from Vietname,Mexico and Venezuala. Some have Pendant pods,others start out with upright pods that turn pendant and others have upturned pods. Some plants/strains are fuzzier than other and have bigger or smaller pods. All are very prolific and crank out the pods. Some plants are bushy and some are tree like. I have all of the above outside now.

| That's a very attractive chile, and once again I learn a lot from Smokemaster -- thanks! phucvu, how is this chile used in Vietnamese cooking, and what does it taste like (heat level, etc.)? If you harvest and save seeds, I'd appreciate getting some to grow next year. I have several varieties I can trade for them. Tom |

| there's no special way to eat it and if it's as hot as my uncle peppers 3 or 4 years ago, you wouldn't want to use it as seasoning, but something on the side for people who can stand really hot chile. it was so hot that i stopped eating chiles for awhile because every time i tried i would get the hiccups from the first bite. but lately none of them has matched the intensity of my uncle's pepper. just send me an email and i'll try to send the seed to you when they ripen up and i still remember by then. |
