Q: Sir,

I am looking for a pepper that is round, about the size of a pencil eraser.  My father always called these "Birdseye," but when I went to your page and saw the picture they didn’t look anything alike.  These are real hot peppers and I would like to know where I can buy the seed for my garden.

Thanks,

Steve Hicks

 

A: Steve:

You are looking for a chiltepin, sometimes called ’Birdseye.’  The seed is available from Reimer Seed and the plants can be ordered from www.chileplants.com
