Look like ghosts …I don’t think smoky habanero is an actual pepper seems like a sauce recipe name
My habs are not as elongated
I don’t know about the “smokey” part, but it looks exactly like the Yellow Bonda Ma Jacques I’m growing.
Fatalii? I have some on my profile. The bright yellow ones, looks pretty similar.
My orange habanero had some peppers like this. Size and shapes were all random
Datil
Depends on your location but those look like Datils from NE Florida. They are grown commercially in the St. Augustine area and made into sauces and food items. Been my main pepper for several years. A bit less heat than habanero and much sweeter. If you get it right a plant will produce a lot more peppers than habanero.
This is a commercial variety of Orange Habanero. I work at a shipping port that imports produce and I found a plant growing these exact peppers next to the waste dumpster. I ripped the plant out and have been growing these for 3 years now.
I looked into it, and the only peppers we processed at that warehouse were orange habaneros. The plants grow like a commercial variety, very compact for a Chinense and insanely prolific.
