| Beautiful! My Bhut's got a late start, they are just starting to flower produce fruit, luckily I'm in Florida so no problem, just have to be patient! |

| AMAZING Ravi ......... those are gorgeous! What size pot is that plant in, and what size is it?? |
RE: Almost harvest time (Bhut Jolokia)

| Thanks for the kind words guys. Bill, you need glasses to find the right glasses?? :) Ozzz, the pot is 15" square. The plant is 4 years old (or is it 5? Dang I am getting old). It is basically a tree at over 2 inches diameter. It is the parent plant of every other plant I have and the source of all the BJ seeds I have sent to other members. 
The following pics show one side of the plant then the other. Perhaps I am mistaken but it seems that the fruit get bigger, if even only slightly every year also.

| Thanks for the input Ravi ......... Cant wait to try my bhuts ... I have only a single fruit right now thats waiting to ripen but it looks like theres a few more pods developing. |

| Ravi, Are you willing to share some seeds? Other posts indicate folks often do not get true Bhut seeds, but from the way people are raving about yours, it seems like you have the real thing. Thanks for any help you can give me. Cheers, Tom |
RE: Almost harvest time (Bhut Jolokia)

Tom, I have already provided my seeds to many others over the years and continue to do so. My e-mail inbox has a number of requests from members for seeds and I will get to them shortly.
Why not send me your mailing info and I will send to you also. I have very few of my original (pure) seed stock left though so I will only be sending a few. Ravi |
RE: Almost harvest time (Bhut Jolokia)
| | |
| Thanks Ravi, I've sent an email with my address. And thanks for giving so much detail here on how you grow your peppers. I plan to follow some of your techniques to try to emulate your success. Tom |
RE: Almost harvest time (Bhut Jolokia)

| Tonight will be my deadline for seed requests folks. I am going to make a trip to the Post Office tomorrow and send the seeds out. Ravi |
RE: Almost harvest time (Bhut Jolokia)

| Seeds are in the mail everyone. Ravi |
RE: Almost harvest time (Bhut Jolokia)

| Ravi, Great looking Bhuts (again) lol! Extremely kind of you to share your seeds. Well done my friend. Rick |
RE: Almost harvest time (Bhut Jolokia)
| | |
| I appreciate you saying so Rick. I am among many good folks here. Ravi |

| That is such a beautiful plant. It's inciting pepper envy but please do not send me any seeds. That pepper is way too hot for me. |
