Hello bgill . . . could your mystery peppers be chile petins?
I’ve got chilepetins growing. It’s my first time with then, I just it them and bought it. It has lots of little peppers on it. Saw a video of a guy eating them, he said they were fairly hot, hotter than habaneros.
Hmm. Dunno. Looking a pics of chile petins, some look oval and others look like a regular, though small, elongated pepper so don’t know if all the pics are correctly identified. My mystery plant is a vine rather than a upright plant, though that might be because it was under some weeds. The fruit looks just like banana peppers (which I have planted) but are miniature. Normally, I’m not afraid to willy nilly taste something unknown but this I kinda am.
