Yes, this is my first year growing chocolate habanero. It's a prolific grower though. I bet there's 50 peppers on it right now. That should take care of the cool weather we've been having this summer. I bet it's 20 degrees warmer close to a habanero plant...lol

The thai hot peppers are the small bushy plants with peppers only about an inch long, and hot as fire. They are red when fully mature and very thin walled. They dry well even here in Indiana where we have a lot of humidity if you hang the plants upside down in the fall in the house. I have a friend from Thailand who runs a restaurant here and she told me that they are the ones that she grew up with. She buys plants of the thai hot pepper and the siam queen basil each year and plants them for use in the restaurant. She said it saves her a ton of money.
