  • Unknown Chilli

    I've had a chilli plant given to me, but the person who gave it doesn't know what variety it is. Does it look familiar to anyone.

    McSee, presumaby that pic is of a ripe fruit, do you know what colour the immature ones are? Yellow, green or some other colour. Do they stay upright? Guess from the pic that's about 3 inches long?

      Could be lots of things - but try searching the database for thai' or 'claw' or 'facing' and you'll get some examples of chillies that grow upright.

        Thanks for the replies.

        Hotsuff, I haven't seen an immature fruit on the plant yet, but yes, it is about 3" long and still quite firm so not quite ready yet. They are supposed to be hot, grows about 1 metre high, very bushy type plant.

        You're right though SBP, it could be anything as so many varieties and hybrids.

            As SBP said it could be a number of things. I did find the description below on an Australian web site, but unfortunately there was no picture.

            "Firefly is an F1 hybrid that produces an umbrella shaped bush to 0.5 metres in height with upright smooth red chilli fruits of about 1-1.5cm wide and 8-9cm long. The bushes have good leaf cover to protect their fruit. It also makes an ideal pot plant, in a container of at least 25cm (10") in diameter. Seed from South Pacific Seeds for commercial growers, but also available as seedlings from local nurseries."
