Pepper (5) have not noticed any color change on these guys neither after cutting it open i smelt the heat very Juicy and Hot got some on my lips the stems are very long and the plant is loaded with pods maybe a HHW or Serrano? will be good 10 min before i attempt the next guy ....

RE: Guess That Pepper !!!!!

Pepper number (6) has a bit of heat it grows in a upward position plant is loaded with pods pretty nice flavor thinking maybe a tabasco or birdseye ?

RE: Guess That Pepper !!!!!

RE: Guess That Pepper !!!!!

Pepper number (7) this next guy is very very small with a large punch of instant heat was thinking some kind of ornamental or a possible cross the plant is shorter but a heavy producer the plant is loaded with pods .

RE: Guess That Pepper !!!!!

This was just a small batch i grabbed up to test from one of my mystery gardens will have more to test in a week or so also if some of the greens change color i will post updates. will be watching for everyone's input

RE: Guess That Pepper !!!!!

(5) is certainly not a serrano - wrong shape, way too big, wrong stems. Doesn't look like a HHW, either.

The very long stems should help narrow it down.

So what's the deal? Someone planted and cultivated these peps without knowing what they are?

RE: Guess That Pepper !!!!!

yea the very long stem and the heat has me puzzled for sure this year i decided to do 1 mystery garden for fun and not sure what any of the plants growing there are ....LOL has turned out to be quite fun when testing for the heat and flavors .... now i just have to try and play name that pepper also also the test was to see produce quantity quality and such for some future grows .
