I did the cross pollination by hand over the winter and saved the seeds that grew from that pepper.
Then I planted the seeds and grew out 8 F1 plants. This is the first one growing pods thanks to a visit from some local deer which set them back.

Capsicum chinense generally have the best flavor. They are also brutally hot so you’re not wrong.
I don’t eat super hots raw. But I do like making hot sauce with them, where a little goes a long way.
