Dear Chile Heads I have noticed something strange in my garden this year. It seems that the pollinating plant makes its presence known not only in the seeds of this year's fruit and therefore the attributes of next year's plants, but also the shape of this years fruit. Five of my plants successfully over-wintered. One of them that gave only roundish fruit last year gave the much more traditional Hab shape with all of its early fruit this year. Two of the plants that were near the afore-mentioned plant were in flower have given fruit of the traditional Hab shape this year as well as last year. The last of the over-wintered plants to flower and fruit this year, gave roundish fruit last year and is giving roundish fruit this year. It is also the nearest plant to the plant first mentioned. Now that this pollen is available, plant #1 is giving roundish shaped fruit again. Warmest Regards Akiva Kotler Ashdod Israel
