Tepin is believed by most experts to be the original wild chilli.
The attractive round bushes can be covered in bright pea-sized
berries. A wild variety - germination erratic and fruit takes 3-4
months to ripen. Best yields produced in their 2nd year from seed.
Over-winter indoors and you could be enjoying the “mother of all
chillies” by mid-summer. |
