This is a very interesting newer variety it’s a cross with Peach Bhut Jami but it has more of a bubble gum pod and they ripen to a bright orange. Pods are not as big as the other BBG Jami cross. Pods are thick walled and don’t have much inside Including seeds . We think that with another Generation they may show some changes and Possibly larger pods. Never the less this is a nice variety with good taste and if not good for making powder or sauces do to it’s size. The pods are the right size for a bit of heat just like some bubble gum. If you have a friend or even yourself that likes a bite of heat then you may like this variety. If you were to grow 10-20 plants of this you would have enough pods to make something out of them.
