For Yatsafusa: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~gcaselton/chile/var-y.html Yastofusa (Yatsafusa) A 3 inch hot pepper from Japan. Tapered fruits, red when ripe, held high pointing upward on nice bushy 20 inch plants. Very decorative and does well in a large container. (Capsicum annum). 80 days from transplant. Also known as Japanese Chile. Asian Heirloom pepper, early 1900's. http://www.wfu.edu/~patelpp/peppers/Others.html Very similar to "Thai Hot", in heat and appearance. These are what oriental restaurants use in their spicy dishes. HTH, Jim
