Chillies - growing and overwintering 2018

Hmm, I think Ms T then....I'll have a look.

Yes, Burkhina Yellow is a Scotch bonnet type, right? This is an anuum, and from Brazil... translates as little beak because of the shape of the fruit.

Definitely Ms T...just found a post.

Burkina Yellow is a C. chinense, but strictly speaking, I don't think it's either a habanero or scotch bonnet, but a similar type of chilli from Africa.

Just looking at my bookmarks for Biquinho Yellow, I don't think it's a C.annuum. Usually described as a mild C. chinense. https://www.sowseeds.co.uk/products/...w-chilli-seeds

I just look for the seed ,i grew Biquinho yello and i did not like them.

Have you only just potted on? Maybe a bit stressed Ani, I would pinch out the tips to get the flowers off as Jack has advised. The plant hasn't developed enough to support fruit yet.

I don't think it is stressed, it was sown 21/1, germinated 31/1, potted on twice (last time week or two ago). It is the fastest developing and biggest plant I have, in 9cm pot now, over 15cm high.
I know I can pinch it out but haven't decided yet if I am going to

How come? Too hot, too mild... rank flavour?

[Ms-T]

no heat and rank flavor ,keeped trying them to see if the flavor would changed the longer they was on the plant ,but no it did not..gave some to friends ,and they did not like them .
But you might....have a go.

That's not a great write up... I'll grow one on out of interest, the others wìll be culled!

Definitely classed as an annuum by MrF...

But your link says it's a slow maturer, so it's pretty much doomed up here!

I'll see how it goes - I'm not nursing any timewasters this year!
