Hi, hopefully my last ID request post, really hoping I am not trying your patience, next year will choose more reliable seeds vendors haha
I purchased seeds from guy who had reapers and habaneros.
This plant was grown from seed marked as Carolina Reaper. Other reaper plants seem to be correct phenotype.
Habaneros from this source have similar elongated shape but the end is not pointy, it's more like butt shaped. Second Pic for comparison.
Questioned pods are long and pointy, often narrower in the middle. They ripen to bright intense orange-almost-red color, but not deep red (I kept them very long on bush and later few days on the kitchen counter) – see them compared to deep red pepper of another type on first pic.
Heat is definitely more than any Habanero including chocolate.

Something habanero like. Possibly crossed with a ghost.
It will be hot.. the only way to have true breeding plants year after year is to isolate them from all other pepper plants.
They look like congo trinidads to me. If so they will be super fragrant and hotter than habs.
No
I’m a little confused by the second pic, as the pepper on the right has a pointy end. Is that intended to be one of the questioned pods on the right next to two known habaneros?
The lobed-bottom habs in the second picture look exactly like ones I’ve seen called Ugandan reds, fwiw. The pointed ones are probably also some form or red habanero. Have you checked the heat level on them?
