I bought this Calabrese Hot Pepper plant and I’m getting these peppers, does anyone know what I have here? I thought the Calabrian Chili peppers were long and skinny so I think I have a different variety. Thanks!

They could be cherry bomb peppers. They are not calabrian chilis for sure.
There are many shapes and sizes of peppers from Calabria. They could be Calabrian Casarella, better known as cherry peppers.
Interesting.
It would appear that there are in fact more than one variety called Calabrese.

At least three, I would say, just from googling around. One round, one longer but somewhat stubby, and one long and skinny.
Looks like you got cherry peppers instead – the big question is will they be hot, or just sweet
Thanks all! Should I pick these when they turn red? Feels like they’ve been green like this for a while,
