Capsicum annuum 'Pequin'

Pequin is a wild bird pepper. There are two types of pequins, one called Chiltepin which is tiny and round and the more oval shaped ones called Chilipiquin. Chile pequin is the Nahautl language word corrupted to the present day word.

Growing
Pequins do not take well to cultivation and must be hand picked so are not widely available in supermarkets. Plants fruit best in second year and should be brought indoors to overwinter.
