I didn't supply the name of my supplier because I didn't know
if it was appropriate, or if it would just seem like flaming. I
don't recall seeing anybody else posting problem suppliers,
but I guess that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
Since the question has been asked.....
Terra Time & Tide
The Aji limon/Arledge hot mix-up could have been due to their
supplier. Aji limon should have been C. baccatum, but the
Arledge is definitely C. annuum. I did not complain to them
because I am satisfied with the Arledge hots, (nice flavor,
medium heat and a nice long burn), and they have already
removed the Aji limon from the site.
I also purchased red savina habanero seeds from them last
year. This was prior to my knowledge of the PVP status. I am
growing them this year and they are most definitely C. chinense,
definitely hab-shaped, but I don't yet know (and may never know)
if they are truly red savina, or rica red or some other red hab.
None have ripened yet, so I don't even know if they are red. I did
not complain about this because I am not sure if I am displeased
or not, and anyway, they have removed it from their site also.
I will think long and hard before I order from them again.
I hope this answers any questions you folks have about my
experience with this supplier. If you need more info, feel free to
e-mail me on or off list. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Scott... all reasonable requests accommodated... KCK
