Haha, a nice surprise. What variety are they ? What are you planning on doing with them ?

I really don’t know lol mystery peppers seem to be the theme this year. My best guess is some sort of Habanero but it’s definitely spicier than the store bought ones I’m used to.

Look like the Scotch Bonnet variety I’m growing.

Red Savina Hab? Looks like it to me.

I was thinking the same and it’s not exactly a bad surprise if so. I’ll have to see how the rest of the pods turn out. It’s super fruity but has that stinging heat you get from Habs.

Nope, Red Savinas are flat on bottom and wrinkled. These are red Scotch bonnets.

Lol. Imagine being OP and seeing these and probably thinking they're red cherry peppers. Surprise.
