This is another variety of Chao Tian Jiao chilli – it seems like there’s more than one plant that goes under this name, so please check the photos to confirm which one you want
This one is also a very prolific variety, however the chillies are smaller (around 4-5cm in length), more fleshy/juicy with a glossier skin. The plant is also a shorter plant, reaching around 50cm tall and tends to form a nice, roundish shape. My potted plants have given me 100+ chillies per plant.
Harvested chillies can be frozen to use later, or alternatively dehydrated and stored in the pantry. Medium heat.
15 seeds hand-saved from my garden to yours.
