Thinking about making an experiment with my pimenta de neydas.
Has anyone of you ever tried to capture the anomalities of different shapes from one variety to see how the peppers come out next year?

I've already saved the seeds seperated from different sugar rush stripies for next year but maybe it's all senseless.

    That’s the way how the vegetables we all know today got bred from their wild form. But there are many factors that play in during the growing process, nutritional, spatial, etc.

    If now you have a whole plant producing fruits, all with the same abnormality, the chance is high that it’s a change in the genome. A single fruit on a plant could possibly indicate a change, but it’s not as likely. I’d have to read more stuff about that, to tell to what extent a single fruit’s appearance is meaningful.
