If that's the initial cross between the banana pepper and the reaper, it's the F1. You will get a lot more variation with its seedlings. I don't know why people wouldn't think this cross would happen since there are plenty of C. chininse X C. annum hybrids out there. The ghostly jalapeno comes to mind. My guess is that tasting just a piece of any of those peppers will let you know if this is a hybrid or not. If one pepper on the plant is a hybrid, they all will be even if they are expressing the genes differently (different phenotypes).
Tom Bednarchuk of the runt? I would save them from the ones you feel look the best. I definitely wouldn’t pick the weakest one like this guys said cuz it will just breed weak peppers.
Plants that aren't stabilized absolutely grow different pods on the same plant. It happens in F1/2s and I've had plants produce what we're about three different varieties on one Scorpion variety, looked like Butch T's, Morugas, and regular Trinidad scorpions. They all were similar in taste and heat but totally varied in their appearance.
Interesting and VERY cool... I have an active F1 cross between a Jalapeno and a Bell Pepper: on average the fruit is about 4 in long. The Bell trait fruit is like a very narrow Bell while the Jalapeno trait fruit is round like a typical Jalapeno BUT WITH 4 CORNERS ON THE BOTTOM. Some fruits are hot like a Jalapeno and some sweet and some seem sweet and hot. The seeds are extremely bitter and inedible IMO. Hope I can get the 4-corner Jalapeno trait preserved in the F2. I call them FAT BOYS cuz they are the fattest Jalapeno shaped peppers but with 4 corners.
Capsicum annuum has been shown to be able to produce fertile seeds when crossed to Capsicum chinense. I'd grow out a handful of seeds from your f1 plant you have here. The seeds within this fruit are the f2 seeds the way you have described this. I would love to see the next generation.
actually it is possible for a pepper to become a hybrid if it's in the same family so yes it is possible the 60% need to do the research it's not impossible I'm not trying to insult anyone either I'm just informing
Did you cross the flowers last year? Banana peppers do turn red on some times..You have to cross the flowers then grow the seed from the crosses pepper..
Grow Your Heirlooms you can cross breed other peppers a ghost pepper is actually a crossbreed so is the Viper the bunch T Scorpion the moruga Scorpion and the Carolina Reaper anyone who would tell you that it's not possible does not know what they're talking about you can cross breed so I don't know why use the term it can't be done people are going to say it can't be done I've got you thought the same thing I'm just informing you so no offense that it actually is possible if you research it crossbreeding is possible with peppers
Dont see why this wouldnt work. Banana is C. annuum and a reaper is a C. chinense X C. frutescens X C. chinense. F1 seeds should be at least partially fertile. Right?
I got a question Last season I had burrito pepper ghost pepper and jalapenos Now I took seeds from one of my ghost peppers that looked the best And I spent all the season you know mending them and growing them and now that they're starting to produce peppers the peppers are growing upright like the burrito pepper Rita pepper and I know I took the seeds only only from the ghost pepper Is it possible that they cross pollinated because I don't remember the ghost peppers growing straight up like that
Is it the F2 generation - then probably just a runt. If the F3 generation - then probably 90% Runt 10% not. If the F4 generation - Then perhaps 75 & 25 and so on in each generation. Mendal's experiment with the wrinkled peas. God Bless
No harm in it but this arguably isn't a good way to try to breed since if one parent is a F1 it will send out it's F2 variations on it's side. F1s great if they work out but if your breeding it's better to have both the parents have stable characteristics
I planted a carolina reaper plant and we planted sweet bell peppers all around it without thinking. I fried up some bell peppers and onions and to my surprise those bell peppers are spicy. Not reaper hot but they are jalapeno hot. I had to go look at the tag to make sure it wasn't a mistake. Sure enough they are orange sweet bell peppers. But they are actually small, bright red, and spicy. They smell and look like mini bell peppers. I wish I could post pics on here.

I'd keep the seeds of the 'runt' and try them next year anyways. As they said in Jurassic Park, "Nature finds a way"
+Tom Bednarchuk LOL good idea.

call it the banana reaper

I feel like this would be a great hybrid, it would be really hot but tasty
I dont know i feel like anything to do with the reaper just tastes like bleach
I just now realized how old this video is. Did you ever do an update on your banana X reaper hybrid? Did you ever get any later phenotypes?
Lol and I'm seeing this 1year after you
I thought this was for heirlooms, this is a hybrid at it's finest. Let's do this!

Whoever says you can't cross those two have no idea what they're talking about.
😂 a red banana pepper 😅 🤔🤫
Call it the F1 Reaper. Great name for a pepper AND a race car.
+DW Marschall :-)
The beeper
please show us how you actually crossed it,... it s cool mixed (result) peppers.
It was not intentional
I cross pollinate peppers intentionally. A Carolina reaper is a cross between a ghost pepper and a red savina habanero.
The evil banana reaper
Did you cross the flowers last year? Banana peppers do turn red on some times..You have to cross the flowers then grow the seed from the crosses pepper..
+Midwest Gradening Yes, I crossed them and then grew the seed the next year. The bananas will go red.
Nice.. I also have a cross and sometimes I will get peppers that look like the mother and father..

”Banana reaper”
I'm trying this with a scorpion 😂
I have a ghost scorpion cross growing can't wait to see what it produces
Awesome! Looks/sounds like a tasty pepper for sure🌶😎👍
Dont see why this wouldnt work. Banana is C. annuum and a reaper is a C. chinense X C. frutescens X C. chinense. F1 seeds should be at least partially fertile. Right?
The charts say it may be possible.
Very interesting. You germinated more than one of those seeds that you saved right?
+High Desert Garden (Phillip) No just one.
We used to have an oak tree in the front yard of our church that had two different sets of leaves on it. Very strange looking
Won't cross, banana peppers turn red when fully mature.
It doesn't matter what color they are at maturity. If 2 peppers are from the same genus they will cross
should try both sometimes the banana might look them same but if the plant was cross bred then the taste might also be as well
+Tina Rucker I'll find out soon. Taste test tomorrow.
Looks like stingers on some of those other peppers?
you cross the pepper and it looks so different than the mother plant in the first time? isn't that only the the generation look different?
It didn't appear to be a cross, it was just a mutation
I tried crossing a gypsy and a bell pepper. Damn seeds didn't grow. I tried cayenne and jalapeno and they grew.
Call it a calinana
Sure is a cute little guy. Interested to see how they turn out.
I’m working on making a Carolina reaper and Tabasco pepper with a ghost pepper
If I get tons of seeds off it can I buy some offen u
Yuhu OK thanks for sharing
Yeay like garden
See you next video
i agree
I got a question Last season I had burrito pepper ghost pepper and jalapenos Now I took seeds from one of my ghost peppers that looked the best And I spent all the season you know mending them and growing them and now that they're starting to produce peppers the peppers are growing upright like the burrito pepper Rita pepper and I know I took the seeds only only from the ghost pepper Is it possible that they cross pollinated because I don't remember the ghost peppers growing straight up like that
If they were planted in close proximity it certainly is possible
@@Growyourheirlooms They were right next to each other but the way that they're growing they're growing straight up Ghost peppers don't grow like that
I have a whole banana pepper I forgot about from last season in the freezer. Will the seeds be good to plant?
I would say so yes
II guess you were supposed to take those seeds and plant them since it was not the first-gen
yeah, I didn't though. They weren't very tasty
how about crossing the Carolina reaper the Trinidad Moruga Scorpionand the 7 Pot Douglah
There could of been two seedlings in one seed shell causing two plants to grow as one.
Is it the F2 generation - then probably just a runt. If the F3 generation - then probably 90% Runt 10% not. If the F4 generation - Then perhaps 75 & 25 and so on in each generation. Mendal's experiment with the wrinkled peas. God Bless
+Joe Scott I did a follow up taste test. It was a runt. :-(
Thanks. I Saw. Disappointment Wwaaaaaaa!
What if you cross breed trinidad moruga scorpion and carolina reaper?
Mario Mirdita
You’ll get a less powerful reaper. Carolina Reapers are a hybrid of red Savina habaneros and moruga scorpions
Hell
youll get something in the 2 mil - 3 mil on the scovile scale, maybe not...maybe 1 mil?
No harm in it but this arguably isn't a good way to try to breed since if one parent is a F1 it will send out it's F2 variations on it's side. F1s great if they work out but if your breeding it's better to have both the parents have stable characteristics
Neither were F1. Both stable heirloom varieties
I want cross a. Carolina reaper with a watermelon hahaha 😂
Any updates on this video? I want to cross fatalii-lipstick & datil-banana. Any experience would be greatly appreciated!

Pepper x and bell pepper hybrid
what happened did you find out
I planted a carolina reaper plant and we planted sweet bell peppers all around it without thinking. I fried up some bell peppers and onions and to my surprise those bell peppers are spicy. Not reaper hot but they are jalapeno hot. I had to go look at the tag to make sure it wasn't a mistake. Sure enough they are orange sweet bell peppers. But they are actually small, bright red, and spicy. They smell and look like mini bell peppers. I wish I could post pics on here.
Banana reaper
The seeds are in the fruit from the new generation I thought
The Californian banana
The seed of that plant will be different
great video
Thanks
Cool
Chili's are life dude.
Yep
@@Growyourheirlooms Yup
You can cross any breed of pepper with another the results are random.
I crossed them on accident and they are wayyyyy hotter....and mean looking...wish I could post a picture
Do you have a picture? I'm crossing a banana pepper with a reaper this season.
