Amazing isnt it? I just don't understand. The fruit is on old wood that in
previous years has produced round fruit! Not a nuclear facility for 100K.
Cross polination?

Thanks dave I would like that. Pequin is a name much debased here in
Australia. I think nurseries think it is a name that will sell. All sorts
of things are called Pequins. Although I gues setting the peramaters on any
chilli name is hard. When would you sat a pequin stops being a pequin and
becomes something else. Size?

Glow -in-the-Dark-Chillies would be something we could patent! We could
call it "windows"; use it to power computers and make Lots and Lots of Money
