I'm a several-year lurker who very rarely posts, but I've got a store
bought "Fire Chile" that is just starting to bear some fruit. I know
nothing about the plant except it's name and the preposterous claim
on the marker "Hottest pepper ever!" I'd like to find our more.
It's clearly a pubescens plant, very similar in size and appearance to
a serrano. The fruit is too young to really describe, but it is also
bullet-shaped like a serrano, though I have no idea what size it will
ultimately become.
Has anybody else grown these? What about heat, flavor quirks, oddities
history? Thanks all!
