If you want "SUPER" hots then find some Bhut jolokia. They are the #1 hot. I seen someone one on here had some for trade. They can be a little hard to get sprouted. 1,000,000 SHU's. They are the pepper than can put a person in the ER. He wants "HOT" they are it. FYI! Hope this helps.

Ok, I have found my cryptic handwritten notes on my own famous (well, at least at my local farmer's market) onion-garlic-pepper jelly. I used to sell at least a case (12 half-pints) of this stuff a week....and I have never shared the secret recipe, UNTIL NOW! (This is starting to sound like an informercial...tee hee.) Gina's Locally-Famous Onion-Garlic-Pepper Jelly 1 1/2 cups mixed peppers (both sweet and hot*), seeded and finely chopped 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar 5 cups sugar 1 pouch Certo liquid pectin Combine everything except the pectin and bring to a full, rolling boil for at least a minute. Stir in the pectin, bring back to a rolling boil for five minutes. Fill jars (this usually yields 3 pints/6 half-pints) and process in a boiling water bath, 10 minutes for half-pints and 15 minutes for pints. *I like about half red bell pepper and half whatever hot peppers are good to go from the garden. Choose according to your desired heat level, from mild Anaheims all the way up to habaneros, if you dare! I usually use something mild like Anaheim or Nardello, some jalapenos and/or serranos, and maybe some cherry peppers or (red) super chilis for a little more color. And I use the food processor to make easy work of chopping all the veggies. Serving Suggestions: The traditional preparation is to serve this spooned over a brick of cream cheese with crackers But our FAVORITE thing to do is to roast a chicken halfway, take it out, glaze it liberally with the pepper jelly, and finish roasting it. The chicken comes out shiny and crispy and sweet and spicy and succulent. SO GOOD! Here is a link that might be useful: Lindsey's Luscious

Howdy Ausome, Your list of peppers is amazing! I'm interested in a couple of varieties you have: Minorcan Datil, Aconcagua and Pepperoncini. Please take a look at my trade list to see if I happen to have something of interest to you. I would love, love, love to be able to do a trade. http://members.gardenweb.com/members/exch/ericabraun?12527 Thanks so much for your time, Erica (EricaBraun -- GW)

seysonn, AFAIK this pepper is not a "U.S. protected variety" under the Plant Variety Protection Act (one of the requirements of which is that the variety be genetically stable through successive generations, LOL!), nor AFAIK has it been issued a corresponding PVP Certificate of Protection or PVP #, see - USDA Plant Variety Protection Office This is how the Guinness World Records holder for many years, the Red Savina was properly protected, see - http://apps.ams.usda.gov/CMS//AdobeImages/009200255.pdf A Trademark, on the other hand, does NOT grant you exclusive rights to a plant variety, but instead protects things like trade names! From what I have read you're not even ALLOWED to trademark a variety name, because that is considered the "generic" name for all plants of that variety. Indeed, I seem to recall seeing a post somewhere here which said they actually had to disclaim the variety name in order to get their trademark, ah, here it is, in that infamous thread - Pepper joe Legit? (See post by Orekoc, on Fri, Jul 18, 14 at 1:20) They also linked to the trademark, but the link says their search session had expired! But if you go here - http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp Click "Trademark Search" on the blue nav links on the left, then click "Basic Word Mark Search (New User)" option, then enter Carolina Reaper for the Search Term and click Submit Query, you should get 2 records found. Click the first one (85930781), and scroll down to "Disclaimer", and read what is says! The blue TSDR button will also retrieve the status and documents associated with this trademark, I believe the following link should take you right to a letter from the Patent and Trademark Office, informing them they had to disclaim the generic varietal name "CAROLINA REAPER" - http://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn85930781&docId=OOA20130525063421#docIndex=9&page=1 A Trademark does NOT provide PVP-style "protected variety" rights for a cultivar, and this trademark does not even protect the generic name for this variety of pepper!
