Peppadew Patent - Page 2

svalli · July 25, 2009

Even without seeing the flowers, the plant looks like a Capsicum baccatum.

It would be interesting to compare fresh taste to other baccatums.

Your peppers look like the chileman's.

Very Cool, T.

Wow, what a great picture! What kind of camera are you using?

And, yes, that's a classic baccatuum flower.

**tomatoaddict** · July 31, 2009

Thanks! It's a Sony Cyber-shot. I had it set on the Macro setting.

Great pic! Looks like it might be the real thing. How exciting! I can't wait for oyu to try a ripe one and tell how it tastes.

I finally saw a bloom! It is very neat looking with the yellow/green.

From what I hear, expect the bush to reach 5ft+ in height.

Where did you manage to get seeds or the plant from? Never heard of it till now, but it's very interesting.

Here's the link to the pepper in the PVP lookup

http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs...?pvpno=9800051

It looks like there's 16 more years to go under its PVP protection. And yes, it was originally denied...if it had been accepted back in 1997, there would be just a few years left.

Now as for the actual seeds...

Quote:

13. Does this mean that the home gardener or farmer cannot propagate the seed of a protected variety and save it for future planting?

Answer: Under provisions of the PVP law and regulations growers and home gardeners can grow, and save seed for their own future planting, any legally purchased protected variety they wish. However some protected varieties that are sold may have other limitations due to patents or contracts and may not be saved for future planting.

The problem is legally getting a source of the seeds...

RJ_Hythloday · August 20, 2009

Maybe not peppadew, but Pepe Le Pew

I guess I can wait 16 years for something that is unknown as to fresh eating viability.

Blueaussi · September 5, 2009

Bump

Any ripe peppers yet? I'm very curious about the taste.

Baccatuums are my favorite speices of pepper.
