gerbil Posted March 9, 2003 hey, Saw a program the other week, people in the outback, and to cook, they used a bush chilli. Supposed to be quite hot, and by the looks of it, small fruits. I've looked for the species via search engine, but just come up with recipes. Has anyone heard of the bush chilli? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted March 10, 2003 Do they look anything like this: Tepin Pequin I always thought both tepin and pequin would go wild if they got in the bush (they are some of the wild varieties of C. annuum that tend to grow quite well in those conditions).

Skulking Lurker Posted March 10, 2003 I'm not sure what species the program used, but I'm currently growing the Christmas Island wild chilli, from seeds I collected there a couple of years ago. Extremely unlikely they are the same, however I needed to post something on the forum after the crash to test things out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbil Posted March 10, 2003 They didn't show the chilli up close, but from a distance they did look similar to Pequin. Hopefully the show will be repeated, but then again i have to remember what show it was. thanks for the help Auxin and SL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
