Please bear with me. I grow every kind of pepper I can find,
and eat things normal human beings shudder at. My daughter
is little and has a fondness for only pimientos and corbacis.
She was broken-hearted a year ago when a tomato horn worm
ate her entire huge plant in under an hour.
I have found corbacis very hard to germinate. After a complete
zero from Reimer seeds (who I have had many other failures
with, and who completely ignore my insistance upon their
"guarantee") I found a good seed source in B.C. (Canada) at an organic
farm. I was able to germinate corbacis finally.
Trouble is I am getting huge plants with lots of blossoms and only a
couple peppers. The other blossoms just shrivel and fall. I have tried
all sorts of soils, indoor vs. out, lots of bug killer vs. letting the
germinators at them, etc. There are no other signs of plant distress:
all the leaves are huge and green...they are like trees.
Anyone got any experience with these plants or are they doomed to
be fussy plants?
