Halcyon Daze Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Can anyone ID this for me. I've seen them for sale in every market in PNG but no-one knows what type it is, they just call it a chilli. They seem to grow most prolifically in the mountains. I came across a pic online of something similar called an Asian chilli. Does that ring a bell at all? I took this pic in PNG, but my PNG friend has the exact same type growing here in Australia They are easily my favourite chilli ever, very sweet, and hot, but not habanero hot. Cheers! *****UPDATE: It's a variety of aji chilli known as a 'PAPUAN RED' -Thanks Auxin****** Edited April 13, 2016 by Halcyon Daze 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 briliant_botanist Posted June 27, 2015 i HAVE SOME OF THAT TYPE GROWING BUT NOT VERY FRUIT FULL THIS SEASON Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Auxin Posted June 27, 2015 BC is right, it looks quite a lot like Apache (which is an F1 hybrid) but I dont think it is. The Daze's chilli has an acutely pointed tip, Apache chillies has a bluntly pointed tip, squint and you can see: Daze's looks like some sort of Aji to me, the flower coloration would prove it. It quite reminds me of Aji Verde: That seems closer, anyway, but Aji Verde is rare. Look to the Ajis (Capsicum baccatum) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
