Habanero "Magnum" Heat 10
Habanero "Orange/Pepe" Heat 10

African bird's-eye "Peri Peri" Heat 8, this is my personal favourite.

Australian native "Broome" Heat 6



Thats all for now,

Post here or PM me.

Chilli seeds are available again,

I have all of what is listed above with the addition of:

Bih Jolokia (fruity Jolokia) - Extreme heat
Bhut Jolokia/Naga Jolokia (little bitter, but hotter) - Extreme heat



I will trade for anything I don't have or sell,

The Habaneros or anything in the first post is $4 for 15 seeds
The Jolokia's are $5 for 15 seeds.

Jolokia Pods

Hi HN. Being a bit of a Chilli Head myself, I would like to take you up on a pack of 15 seeds of each, thanks.

I've got Lithops seed to trade if you are interested plus some other stuff. PM me please.

Bhut Jolokia - these little baby's can blow your head off!! Read about them 10 years ago on a flight to Melbourne in an 'in-flight' magazine. It took 4 pages to tell you where they were bred and why...seems the Indians like the flavour but are very carefull to make sure they remove every last pod from the curry!

ta for sharing HN
i would like 15 of each of
Bih Jolokia
Bhut Jolokia/Naga Jolokia
African bird's-eye "Peri Peri"

Fruitbat, Scarab and the others who have not posted, I have your orders and have sent you a PM.



Still plenty available although the Jolokia's are going fast.

Habanero Pods

thanks HN you are a pleasure to deal with
5 seeds of each planted out today
cant stand the taste of habaneros myself. i had them when i was pregnant

my chillis are starting to sprout!
question: if i want to "save" non-hybrid seed, do i need to grow only one type of chilli ? how far away should different types be grown from each other?

Scarab, thanks for the kind words. I appreciate that.

Generally chillis are difficult to create hybrids, they will take the easy route and self pollinate nearly all the time. I have 10 plants spaced about 50cm between each and they have never produced a hybrid for me. Looking back 50cm is probably not enough, they are all touching now and look like one massive bush.

Congrats on getting germination, some can be difficult.

These look awesome! I'm a bit of a chillihead... currently growing Habaneros, Hungarian Wax, Jalapeno and Thai Birdseye, plus an ornamental that is possibly a Numex Twilight.

I've never tried growing (or eating) the Jolokias before. Are they much more difficult to grow?

Lachy,

The only difference I have found with th Jolokia's is germination, they require a nice constant temperature of between 25-30degrees to germinate. Done right they come up in 7-10 days but can take up to 2 months.

I dry them in a food dehydrator or an oven on very very low heat and them blend/grind them up and make nice Habanero flakes. This way you have heaps of chilli for the winter months.

HN, you mentioned an Australian native chilli in your first post. Do you have any pics? Can you give us any background on this plant?
