The last time I looked on their website the cross was no longer pictured. I originally intended to just call it &#8220;Jester;&#8221; however, there is a hybrid squash and a lettuce both called Jester, so I didn&#8217;t want there to be confusion. Chaotic Jester is a striking plant, with green leaves and dark purple stems. The immature fruits are deep purple and the mature fruits are a rich banana custard color that eventually ripens to candy apple red. I have been growing this for some time, selecting for the green leaves with purple-black stems and leaf veins. In my test this fall, I had none with purple leaves and stems out of 50 seedlings; however, it is entirely possible that one may still show up here or there. For this reason, I am marking Chaotic Jester as a developing variety. I prefer the green leaves because they are much more striking with the contrast of the purple-black stems and leaf veins. The fruits are shaped and textured like 7-pot types, crinkly thin-skinned little lanterns with wipe-burning-tongue-on-the-carpet-cry-to-yo-mamma type heat. Although I have listed it here as a Capsicum chinense, the other parent may be other than chinense.<br \/>\nNOTE: One packet per order please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11060,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[70,60,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11059","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-superhot","7":"product_cat-developing-varieties","8":"product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=11059"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11059"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
