Hong Kongese

Public online references for this line are found under the name Hong Kong rather than Hong Kongese. Those references describe it as an Indian-origin Capsicum annuum that was already in circulation by 2013 and later appeared in seed listings under the Hong Kong name. The plant is described as tall and sturdy, reaching about 1.5 to 1.7 m in height with a strong funnel-shaped growth habit. Its pods are described as large, about 10 cm long and 5 cm wide at the broad end, with a cylindrical to cone-shaped form. Grower tasting notes describe a hard skin with juicy flesh inside, strong flavour, and a slow-building Indian-style burn with a long-lasting finish. Seed listings classify it as a medium-heat annuum, while grower comments place it in the mild-to-medium hot range rather than the superhot range.
