Dorset Naga, right?

| I bought Dorset Naga seeds (along with some others that did not germinate) from Reimer seeds in 2008. I now know better. The thing is, I have two plants, and one seems to be MUCH hotter than the other. The hotter one looks the same, and the peppers look the same. I didn't even realize there were two plants until the end of summer when I took down the garden, and by then there were only two peppers (one ripe, one green) on the "smaller" plant. I taste tested the green against another green on the other plant and there was a big difference. I dissected the ripe pepper vs. a ripe pepper from the other plant and I did notice that the hotter plant had much less "stuff" inside, more open space, not as many fleshy dividers. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures then. Here are some from the larger, less hot plant. Do these look right? These I really have to cut into thirds to see inside the whole thing, the other I just cut in half and there weren't many seeds inside either. I'll know more next year when I get more peppers from it...

To me they look like Naga Morich. Naga Morich (origin Bangladesh sylhut province).This is the mother strain from which so called Dorset Naga has been isolated.
I can say with some authority since I have been following Sylhut province Naga Morich. It comes in many sizes and similar shapes. But the end result is only one and that is HEAT. Just selectively breeding one strain and inbreeding it for uniformity of shape and size does not make it winchester, Manchester,Dorset or Fosset Naga. Sorry for mumbling aloud.
It is Naga Morich. NJA |

NJA,
Thanks for the help. Could you tell me what characteristics ID it as Naga Morich? The others that you mention, Winchester, Manchester, Dorset and Fosset Naga, what are the characteristics that identify it as these cultivars? I certainly can't eat one in a sitting, but I'm not a certified chillihead (only in training). Heat is true!! Josh |

| Here's a couple more peppers from the same plant. These are smaller, and were green when I pulled the plant out of the ground. They have since ripened on the plant, indoors.

| Those are dorset. Morich are longer, don't taper as quick and are less knarley. Dorsets were bread from the morich though. |

| I think Dorsets too. Identical to what I grew years ago. |
