Bhut x P.D.N. Pimenta Jolokia
At the end of 2014 I received Bhut Jolokia x Pimenta De Neyde seeds of an early generation from Jes Christensen. Jes got them from Enrico Lai. I started calling them Pimenta Jolokia for short as it was also the first name I saw of that particular cross that others were using. I coined them Pimenta Jolokia Fire & Ice. In 2018 they showed even more variations. Expect many different colors......Orange is Fire, the Darker bluish/black/salmon color is Ice. You might get lucky and find Black Ice, Peach Ice , Lavender Ice, or more. PJ is "Pimenta Jolokia", no need to keep renaming the phenotypes. Lets be able to trace the family tree. Originally Paolo Fisicaro made the cross in 2009 between Bhut Jolokia and Pimenta De Neyde. It was to be called Pimenta Elisa under an Italian non-profit organization AISPES. It was shared abroad to some enthusiasts with attached guidelines. If the guidelines were not met, it would be cataloged as "Bhut x Neyde Fn" . The problem was that with every color shift, someone created a new name. AISPES did choose to name a few more phenotypes that I know of. Pimenta Leopard, Pimenta Sparanese, Pimenta Tiger & Pimenta Gobbo. After so many variations appeared,people went crazy claiming them. This info was not easy to track down. If I had seen this before, I probably would never have assumed the Pimenta Jolokia" name. That being said, this is the most beautiful and productive set of "Bhut x Neyde" genetics I have come across.

Pimenta Jolokia first started out as Bhut x Pimenta De Neyde. From AISPES. The original seeds were supposed to be Peach/Pink but all plants gave Red and black variations in 2015. I thought I tracked the “Pimenta Jolokia “ name to those original Peach/Pink from Enrico Lai and Pepper Italia. I first found some Burnt Orange ripening peppers in 2016. Then in 2017 & 2018 they gave many more variations from each of the plants I planted from. The Burnt Orange led to all the Fire & Ice. I decided to keep everything as Pimenta Jolokia, as many have matched other known variations from Bhut x Neyde.
The lineage and listings of PJ is for log purposes and to teach others how much one cultivar can jump around. Most are not for sale but go in mixed packs only. Also helps spot the obsessive renamers and fakes. Unfortunately people are still claiming new crosses from these and get upset about the different selections logged here.
