I did save seeds from that plant (although the majority of peppers were seedless and the ones that had seeds only had a couple; http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=34103) So I'm going to grow a few plants of that this year--as the discussion in that thread gets at, I'm not sure if it is male sterile gene that just didn't express itself 100% or it did express itself and each seed represented a cross pollination.

Regarding if the variety was the reason for the production, that is possible. That's why I'm doing the topping experiment with all the varieties I routinely grow--to see if I notice an increase in production.

Good luck with your peppers!
