The Datil chilli pepper variety has been grown for about 300 years in St. Augustine Florida and it's name in Spanish means "edible date". The pods are 5cm (2in) long with shoulders 2cm (¾in) wide and mature from green to yellow. It is a Capsicum chinense variety and has the a similar heat and aroma to the Habanero, except that the Datil is more fruity and much sweeter. This species is most readily distinguished by the three to five flowers at each node, the drooping pedicels and the circular constriction at the base of the fruit 'cap'.[1]
