I tried to grow some fatalis a few years back and the transplants all croaked I chalked it up to being sensitive as everything else we did kicked ass that year
If you can get some Fatalii to do well where you grow, by the time you grow the same ones 4 to 5 years in a row by selecting the best plants and tastiest peppers they should be acclimated to your zone and rarely give you problems...I have been growing the same ox heart tomato from Italy for 25 years...everything about her now is me and her environment by selection, I like to think better than where I started...but I do have to be careful from now on because some I choose every year have very few seeds in them from selecting the meatiest ones for so long!

Those sound delicious! I'm gonna have to try them out this summer.

I get after some stuffed jalapenos myself but I have never tried them with pineapple added in. That burst of sweetness sounds like an amazing addition.
I just slice the jalapeno in half lengthwise & hollow out making little boats out of them fill with creme cheese & put a chunk of pineapple in the creme cheese then go around it with a slice of bacon & secure it with a toothpick & grill it I've got jumbo jalapenos as well as tame ones that have about as much heat as a bell pepper pineapple and jalapeno go good together
These are the Fatalii's I am growing this season along with seeds from the best fatalii peppers I grew the last 2 seasons...I like to compare different seed source's every year with what I started with and eventually settle with the best of my liking and then grow it year after year...the plants that give me no problems along with the tastiest peppers are usually I've never heard of these what are they like?

Thank you for this, have to try something similar with fresh jalapenos from the mexican store....

The Fatalii is a cultivar of the chilli pepper Capsicum chinense developed in southern or central Africa from chilies introduced from the Americas. It is described as having a fruity, citrus flavor with a searing heat comparable to the habanero, to which it is related and from which it may have derived.

I've seen similarities of the habanero in several hot varieties such as ghost , carolina reaper & trinidad scorpion just to name a few a habanero that's ripe can be a formidable opponent

,, ordered a Salad Roll, at a Vietnamese Pho House.
Inside was a full, single, green , ovate leaf.
Looked like a Elm leaf.

Topical hot, not forehead sweats.
Had a bit of local kick, much like anesthetic.

We had left before I could ask them what it was.
Still curious.

Oh that sounds delicious. I love Vietnamese food. Maybe it was perilla leaf?

Those Peri leaf look spade, macro textured , and possibly too large.
The herb in the roll was more delicate.

My wife googled up VietNm. Coriander, although it appears overly spear shape and mottled.

It was even toned , not unlike a cannabis blade.

Zapped me good, boy oh boy.
Not spicy, certainly numbing.
You could endure dental procedures with a mouthful of that magic.

It's amazing how many herbs they use throughout that region. Makes it hard to recreate recipes sometimes lol. But I love it. Someday I'll have an solarium full of tropical herbs

Started this years peppers. Some stubborn old seed stock, planted as many as 4 seeds per block for the oldest stock. 3 of each in back, 2 of each in front. These are the last 2x Lemon Habanero of 15x. I have not been able to get this to go, so I planted them with 1x Puma as well (the Puma is easily identifiable by its leaf color) so if they go, great, but I didnt want to waste too much time.

2 Pumas on the front right, followed by 2 Tobagos moving left, followed by a Chocolate Beauty and an Ancho. These were my early start peppers.

His end of season sale is great, 50¢ a pack. Ive had some germ issues with some pepper seeds from him (which can be finicky) but overall the value is there. He tends to ship small qtys of seeds, so great for the smaller home gardner who doesnt need 250 seeds of each type. I bought 30 bare root strawberries last year and they shipped super late in the season and never rooted. This year weve ordered 5x bare root raspberry plants from him (got our strawberries from Territorial, a few weeks ago). His channel is informative and one of many Ive utilized to learn what I now know. Check out Gary Pilarchik and his channel The Rusted Garden and Jess at Roots & Refuge. Another good cheap seed source outside of many listed here is SeedSavers.org
