Original PJ selection from Smooth Red. Bhut x P.D.N. In 2015 I grew Bhut Jolokia x Pimenta De Neyde seeds of an early generation, from Jes Christensen. Jes got them from Enrico Lai's 2013 harvest. I later traced the Peach/Pink of Enrico's to Christopher Phillips & "Pimenta Jolokia" to"Pepper Italia". I started calling them what i thought Enrico named them, "Pimenta Jolokia". I also really like the name as a marriage of the two parents that created it. With many others, these phenos appeared. 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 Sparanise", "Pimenta Tiger" , "Pimenta Leopard, & "Pimenta Gobbo". Most likely, those that followed the AISPES guidelines. Also, after so many variations appeared: many tried to streamline names. This information was not easy to track down. All Bhut x PDN do come from 1 cross, as far as I Know. If I had seen this before, I probably would never have assumed the Pimenta Jolokia" name. That being said, this is the most beautiful set of "Bhut x Neyde" genetics I have come across.
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.
