How can I identify the different between "Red Habanero" (Capsicum chinense) and "Lemon drop" (Capsicum baccatum)? Without wanting I accidentally managed to mix some of my plants and they are all at the same sizes (around 15 cm). They have no flower and fruits so I would like to learn how to identify who is who. All the best
I am assuming that you need to identify them before any peppers are produced. Lemon drops are Aji-type peppers and I do not know of a way to differentiate the bush before the peppers start. After the peppers come out, it is very easy to differentiate between the Lemon Drop and Red Habanero. The Habanero is also more squat while the Lemon is more elongated.
