Here’s a look at a couple of our Mutant Pepper Plants. If you’ve never seen one, the leaves are nothing like most other pepper plants. They are very thin and long, and sometimes almost look like some sort of succulent or other plant. They’ve been around long enough that many breeders have started breeding this trait into other colors and types of peppers. I plan to cross some of my own peppers with the mutant peppers. Let use know if you’ve ever grown one. Thanks for watching!

Love the looks of that plant.
Good morning Jim. That really does look strange. Thanks for the information.

Very interesting! Haven’t seen any pepper 🌶🌶 plants with leaves like those. I wonder how does the peppers taste. Enjoy the weekend, mate. Best wishes.
A crazy cool pepper plant. I bet aphids have a hard time with it too with all the wispiness. Looking forward to a bunch of your projects. Thanks for the share!
Glad to see a video of that crazy pepper! Crossing that with a plant that has colorful round peppers I'd imagine would look like a Christmas tree.
That's a very interesting pepper plant. The leaves resemble a pencil plant. It also resembles a jalapeno pepper. I wonder how hot it is. Take care and have a wonderful weekend 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Fascinating!
That is such an interesting plant. Can't wait for you to do a taste test.
That is neat! Is it hornworm resistant because of its leaf structure?
The mutants are neat looking!!
Good morning everyone just curious if anyone has any tips on how to preserve fresh peppers right off the plant we’ve been getting a lot of them off the garden and we can’t keep up with them and they start to wrinkle up and get soft within three to four days
Good Morning – very interesting pepper. Don't know how you keep track of all the varieties you create and decide which ones are duds or keepers in terms of flavor/prone to disease/hardiness/production. I mainly grow for flavor and production which changes each year as I get enough of one type stored so move on to other varieties I am short on. Hope you have a good weekend!
They are definitely something that could be used to decorate for fall as well as provide something to eat.
The guy over on heirloom reviews channel. Is acting as if he's the almighty pepper god. I don't know which crosses he did and can careless. Just into peppers for his own monetary gains. Trying to sell anything and everything whilst doing his own hype man live streaming to stir up interest. Lol I'm glad to be able to watch other humble people p passionate about peppers. That don't go overboard & give an off feeling about the hobby.
Curious, regarding the mutant pepper, what color were the flowers (blooms)?
You might have told us before, but what species is this pepper? The pods look something like Matchbox / Rooster Spur / Super Chili (c. annuum, about 1.5" pods, about as hot as cayenne). Small plants, fast ripening, more seeds than I'd like and thus less taste.
