As promised, here is the Naga hybrid that I gave to my sister last summer. As you can see it's doing quite well considering my sister keeps it on a north facing window ledge and feeds it only hard tap water. There has been no cutting back of the foliage or root ball during the winter, which makes me quite happy about the seeds genetics being pretty hardy. All this aside it'll still be a while before those fruits ripen up to the glorious red.
In one of my previous posts, 'Nature and Fate Conspire', I made a statement about this being an Apache x Naga hybrid. The reality is that I'm still not entirely convinced about the Apache's fatherhood. It's always going to be a guessing game when hot mama Jolokia gets promiscuous with every chilli in the greenhouse. I'll have to wait until they ripen and do a comparative study. In the interim I'll dub it Naga X... Even if it does sound more menacing than it actually is.
