Hey Chilichump! Extremely informative video on cross-pollination. Some names I was thinking of: lemiperri, lemon eye drop (lemon drop paired with bird's eye), LemonHot, Peri Peri Lemon (sounds like very very lemon), Perlemon. As maybe a suggestion we could also wait and see what they look, smell, and taste like before we name them. Looking forward to the new content!
Thanks for the video. It's rare to find one that has so much clear info without wasting the viewer's time. It's also nice to hear a South African voice again as an expat :) I'd call it the drop kick.
You gotta have a ‘chump chilli’ at some point.... Piri piri + jalapeno (polinate jalapeño) an hopefully end up with large thick skin jalapiri peppers for braai poppers ;-)
I crossed Dragon x Douglah with Yellow Habanero last year. This year i used the resulting seeds, plants grew and some fruits are developing already, can´t wait for the results!
@chillichump Glad you're keeping well. I accidentally crossed a pepper with a chilli, and this year ended up with a pepper which is more chilli shaped with heat with it. Never knew this was possible. Another great Tube.
I'm new to this, would mind explaining to me what the biological boundaries are, like can I just go pollinate whatever I want with whatever I want? Or does have to be in the same group, family, genome, like what's the deal? thanks
aha - I honestly thought that once you cross-polinated a flower that you would end up with a different fruit on the host plant, you teach me something each video! Thanks mate!
Peri Drop if it is closer to Peri Peri, or Lemon Peri if it is closer to a Lemon Drop. Edit, if you get the golden colour of the Lemon drop then Golden Peri might be interesting
Im totally blown away. Our chilli season in AUS is starting. I will look at your chart and study some more. Golden Peri, wow, that would be something. Btw, love the video closeups. The pollen from the brush floating away.
FLIP!!! I don't.. i really don't understand people disliking a vid like this.. One of life's miseries, i mean mysteries. Anyway thank you for some of the science as well. So helpful.
Loved your video I've been thinking about doing that for a while with flowers now I know how to do it with the flowers I think it would be the same process however I call it new pepper patience because it took a lot for you to do that have a great holiday
I've watched this vid a few times and wondered what was dancing around in the background, just worked out its a 40th birthday balloon 😆 great vid btw 👌
I have been working on two crosses for about 3 years, trying to stabilize them and preserve the best varieties. They were both accidental crosses, one interspecies (frutescens (tabasco) x chinense (habanero)) and one not (Fish annuum x Bulgarian Carrot annuum). The F1 generation is a predictable cross and both showed great merit. The F2-F3 generations are chaos, with all sorts of crazy genetic diversity for you to select from. I'm in the F3-F4 region now where I'm starting to try to stabilize the best ones. I would recommend reserving names for when you see what the pods of the descendant plants are actually like, including color, heat level, shape, and any other interesting characteristics. Until then, mechanistic names based on what plot and bush they grew from are more helpful.
The Lemon Nandos 🤣🤣 Also no need to wait till next year. I would get a cheap grow light online (~£40) and plant about 20 in small pots under it. You’ll see a wide variety of phenotypes plus you’ll get to grow fresh peppers all year round. Over the winter, observe each plant, select the phenotypes you like, and plant those out next summer. That way you don’t waste precious space in your garden!
Great informative videos as always! I appreciate the time and effort you put into your work! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing the cross !
Uhhh... the chili Community has been complaining about his videos for over a year everything he's shown you you need to erase from your knowledge. Has been cross-pollinating through every fucking video. The fact that we just called him out and now he's doing the video on Cross polinizacion proves the fact he knows nothing please educate yourself before believing in the internet
This is gonna be awesome. I can’t think of a name. Use your name, it’s your baby. You really got me into peppers 🌶 I’m fermenting some Tabasco with Cayenne, thyme garlic right now. I’ve just ordered my bottles. Hehe⚗️Thank you for my new hobby.
New subcriber, been watching for a while I have five different cultivars of jalapeño, Freano peppers, Serrano peppers, and two super hots, one Ghost and one Ghor-Pion it's a cross between Ghost pepper and Butch T Trinidad Scorpion. Looking forward to grow more super hots next year, you've inspired me to make my own hot sauce🔥🔥 with great success. I've crossbread cannabis before and you are spot on with your technic thanks and have a blessed day 👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Leri (Larry) Could you do a continuation of this? how to cultivate seeds from yours peppers and more information on continued breeding to stabilize. This video has me very interested in trying something similar. I would love to take the bold flavor of a ghost pepper and drop the heat to something similar to a Serrano.
@@ChilliChump Hey, Just found your channel. Thanks a bunch for your information. I tried starting my first fermented batch today after watching your videos and a few others. Went to the local green houses and bought a bag of "chilies", tossed in some fresh green onion, garlic and a few other seasonings. Do you make your own vinegar as well for your sauces, maybe a fruit based vinegar?
@@th3count I do make my own vinegar, but I don't use it in my sauces at the moment. I need to use vinegars that will give me a predictable result, and the flavours would vary quite a bit with a home made vinegar. It's no problem to use it for your own sauces though if you aren't worried about the sauce tasting the same every time!
This was awesome! I learned so much from this video! Have to try this on my ghost pepper plant. Maybe the ghost crossed with one of my habeneros? Should be interesting....
Also, a great method to prevent the stigma from getting pollinated by others after manual pollination is to cover it with little organza bags or something similar 🙂
Very good tutorial. Planning to try cross pollinating some super hots with tabasco and C. eximium plants this summer. Going to be interesting to see the Piri Piri x Lemon Drop update. Thumb up!
Is it not better to properly cover the pollinated stigma adequately to prevent pollen from other source pollinating? You have explained the technique of emasculation of the stamen beautifully well thanks a lot.
Hi- not to put a dampener on things but you might think of covering over the pollinated flower - there is a chance that pollen from that plant or others get into the mix - the stronger Jean will take over - I hope you have done it - I would cover the flower after this with your mesh bag just to stop other pollen contaminating - just a suggestion
Chillichump ok great that should work - you didn't show that in the video . I thought it was strange as you cover them to save seeds . Ok forget what I said . Earlier
Lemon Peri and Peri Drop. Curious question, here you used the pollen from the lemon drop and put it onto the peri peri, would you also take pollen from the peri peri and put it onto the lemon drop then grow out seeds from both pods to see if one lot turns out to take on different characteristics from the other? Great video as always.
Love the content. Your videos have been extremely helpful. As for the Pepper, well, I just couldn't venture a guess until I see you try a product of your F1. Also, Happy Birthday, if that was your ballon twirling in the wind at the end.
Can you cross just about any peppers? I love the Tabasco pepper plant and I would love to see a hotter and maybe even better looking peppers. I think this could be an amazing project to do in a indoor hydroponic system because it can be growing year round. Your video has me really wanting to cross my Tabasco with something else. Hopefully I can get a indoor hydroponic system and a pepper I want to mix with next year. Thank you so much for this video. It is very inspiring! Also with a indoor hydro system you could make it where there is zero chance unwanted cross pollination. Keep up the great videos and I cant way to see them next year.
If you look at the chart I popped up in the video you can get an idea of which types can cross with other types. There are some that don't cross too easily...
Have you ever seen early signs in young plants of the cross pollination? Maybe in things such as different stem color or leaf 🍃 shape or size. I'm just curious cause I have one of several of the same variety that looks a bit different than the others. All have been managed in the same way from seed to now but this one seems to be different in color on the stem and has much larger leaves.
i just did that last week with my komodo dragon (orange) and fatalii whites.. used the fatalii pollen on a komodo flower.. looking forward how it turns out, as i'd prefer to get a white komodo dragon pepper :)
So, if I understand correctly, you pollinate and tag individual flowers, then plant out the seed from the resulting pepper to get your hybrid? Could have been a bit more clear about the steps, perhaps bullet points would help those of us who aren't good auditory learners or who are non-native English speakers. Thanks for such useful information and great footage. Cant wait to see more :)
I see that some people cover the newly pollinated flower with a small zip lock baggy which I’m assuming is to prevent unwanted pollen from being collected before the pepper begins to form . I noticed you didn’t do that so I’m questioning if I should cover it or not with having other pepper varieties growing in my indoor garden ?
Once the flower is pollinated...it can't get any more pollinated. Coverying with a mesh bag may be worthwhile...personally I wouldn't use a plastic bag, because it will probably kill the flower/pepper.
Do you have to take the lemon drop pollen and pollinate the piri piri chilli over and over for every gen? Or do you just have to take the seeds and grow from the previous chilli-plant for every gen? Hope that made sense
What is the process to go from F1 to stable? Do you just keep on harvesting seeds or do you manually cross pollinate each generation? My ideal hybrid would be a very large tabasco with all that juice inside. frutescens does not have any large peppers. However, some scholars believe frutescens to be very close to annuum. Wonder if that can be possible.
I had this happen naturally before. planted my banana peppers too close to my habanero's and ended up with some hot banana peppers :D Had some fun with people with those lmao.
The Persian Pomelo. Peri was a Persian mythological creature that seemed evil at first but ultimately turned out to be good. Pomelo is a large citrus fruit that is a close cousin of the lemon.
I don't think it's important. The plant should be pollinated when you are manually pollinating. Additionally, insects are unlikely to pollinate it because it has no petals...
I'm curious if I can get variegated very hot peppers? So this year I want to cross a variegated Tiger jalapeno with a yellow Habanero. Do you think it's better to use the variegated variety as a mother? Will it give more variegated seedlings? Thanks!
Personally I would try both ways. There is no guarantee really which way would be more likely to pass on the traits you are looking for. Also you could get different results each time even if you kept the parents the same each time!
@@ChilliChump Thank you! I'll try to pollinate both varieties of pepper then. There is another question. Which variety do you think would be more interesting to pollinate the variegated Tiger jalapeno? There is, as I mentioned, the yellow Habanera. And there is also Naga morich with white fruits (I don’t know the name of this variety. I bought it as White Naga). Tiger jalapeno itself has red striped fruits. I'm not sure exactly how the color of the fruit is inherited in peppers. 🤔🤷 Thank you!
What I would say is firstly make sure you are using a highly stabilised chilli....anything that is early gen cross can easily revert to the strongest genes....in this case, the jalapeno will be the stronger gene...so you are just as likely to end up with something resembling a normal jalapeno instead of the stripes and spotting you expect.
@@ChilliChump Well... Probably then it makes no sense to cross the variegated Jalapeno with one of those that I have listed. I also have Carolina reaper, regular Naga morich, Black panther orange and chocolate Habanera. With whom is it better to cross a variegated Jalapeno for hotter peppers than the Jalapeno itself? Thank you!
I love your videos. Name for this heterozygot if ripens yellow: African canary. I guessed it right at the beginning of the video , on of the parent will be your peri-peri.
I have two questions one can I keep the polin of i pepper for 2 years and reuse for making i hybrid? the Second question if I cross two plants that make eatable fruits. would the hybrid make fruit eatable or not?
hi buddy i think maybe "perilemochump" or more simple cc-lemon-p " love the channel really got me into growing some myself my cross pollinate mix would be a choc naga and cayenne pepper i think both flavours would be great together 👍 atb simon
I love the taste of Pepperadew or Pepperedew peppers but have found sources for seeds in the USA to be suspect. Don't know if the "Pepper-E-dew" is just some attempt to fool the unsuspecting customer into thinking they are buying a "Pepper-A-dew" or if that is just a different but acceptable spelling. Also one firm is selling " Malawi Piquante Pepper" as also known as Pepperadew> Do you have a recommended sources for seeds for this pepper? Thanks.
A great video. Unfortunately, I have not yet understood how it continues after F1. How do you get the variety varietal? Do you pick the plant from the F1 generation with the characteristics you like the most and then take the most attractive berry to get seeds from it and start the process again or do you have to cross again? Many greetings
For f2 you need to isolate the plant and pollinate it with itself. This will then result in the F2 generation. You choose the plant that has the traits you are looking for from the F1 seeds. You continue doing this through multiple generations until it has stabilised at F8.
I thought this is what you have been doing in your greenhouse all along. My suggestion would be to cross cayenne with jalapeño. Probably all ready done, please enlighten me?
Thank you so much for this video. It's really informative. One of the things I don't understand is what happens to the seeds of the pollinated pepper. What happens if I take the seeds of the cross peper and plant them? Is it related to 7:46 that says something about generations? Also if someone can explain what "stable" means in this context, that would be amazing.
Stable means you isolate the pepper through multiple generations of growth. To get them properly stable you need at least 7 generations. If the seed is not stable, then you will get something different from what you expect from your plant when you grow your seeds.
@@ChilliChump thank you for the clarification. So if I understand correctly, I should get the seeds of my crosspolinated pepper, grow them, identify the ones I am most interested in, get the seeds, and repeat the process 7 times to make sure that the genetic profile is rigid?
Like I mention in this video, when you cross pollinate a flower with another flower, the pepper that grows from that cross pollination will be the same as the mother plant. The seeds however will grow into a cross of the two plants. That seed will be F1 (1st generation). When you grow that plant, you need to isolate it so that it doesn't cross pollinate with another plant, or else you have to start again. So you pollinate it with itself. The isolate seeds from the peppers of the F1 plant can then be planted, and grown...that will be F2 (second generation). etc. etc.
@@ChilliChump You are the best! I understand now and thank you for the detailed explanation. The reason why I got interested and fascinated in peppers is because I decided to plant the seeds of a round bell pepper. To my suprise the plants bloomed and fruited horn shaped peppers, I am still trying to identify the variety. Your video and answer gave me an insight on how/why. I now suspect an unstable cross-pollinated reason. Greetings and much respect from Stockholm Sweden.
What would be your ideal chilli pepper cross?
Also don't forget to let me know your name suggestion!
Pink tiger × habanero
"The Aji Birds Eye"

You gotta have a ‘chump chilli’ at some point....
Piri piri + jalapeno (polinate jalapeño) an hopefully end up with large thick skin jalapiri peppers for braai poppers ;-)

Peri Drop if it is closer to Peri Peri, or Lemon Peri if it is closer to a Lemon Drop. Edit, if you get the golden colour of the Lemon drop then Golden Peri might be interesting
I'm in agreement with this fella
Me two
You took the words right out of my mouth....
Yes, this!!!
I'd go for the 'Chumpsa Peridrop'
Chump + SA (South Africa) + peri + drop.
You earned it bro!
(Another good vid, Sir, thankyou and good luck)
Im totally blown away. Our chilli season in AUS is starting. I will look at your chart and study some more. Golden Peri, wow, that would be something.
Btw, love the video closeups. The pollen from the brush floating away.
Am i the only one who loves the way he says chili pepper
I vote for Lemon Tickler as the name for this glorious creation!

Love how you broke this down for us..! Awesome channel too..! Thanks
Peri lemon sounds fitting
I can't wait to see how these turn out next year.
Lemeri! Keep up the great work, you got me into growing my own peppers and fermenting my own sauces! Quality content as always, have a great day. :D
Looking forward for the result 🌿🌶. After I try growing different peppers I will play this game too. Thank you for showing the rooles 😁

I would call it a lemon peri simple I know but describes it perfectly
I have been working on two crosses for about 3 years, trying to stabilize them and preserve the best varieties.

yellow eye as a suggestion. A great cross would be a cherry chili and a habenero. Thanks for the informative video.

@@ragnarandy I was trying to keep the video tight...did a load of editing. People seem to complain when videos go over 15 minutes or so
Chillichump I think you did it well - it's hard to do without damaging the flower and having to start over - 👍
Hello, when did you first see the pepper after pollination (in days)
About a week you should see the start of a pepper...or if the pollination was unsuccessful, then the flower would drop off by then
Good luck with the results ! Id say see what the cross looks like and what it tastes like before giving it a name. Lemiri is my suggestion though :)
Nice masterclass Chillichump.
I agree with others - PeriDrop
and on the bottle label you could mention AM-arseache.
Lemon Peri and Peri Drop. Curious question, here you used the pollen from the lemon drop and put it onto the peri peri, would you also take pollen from the peri peri and put it onto the lemon drop then grow out seeds from both pods to see if one lot turns out to take on different characteristics from the other? Great video as always.
Cool upload...!

Lepri pop, "half" lemon and half pepri. And just the pop ( kinda rimes with drop ) that comes when you bite down on it and it crunches!
Cool stuff. I’m going to see if I can pollinate one of my ghost peppers with the pollen from my chocolate scotch bonnet.
Thank you. That was very interesting
Congrats on 100k!
Thank you!
This is cool I've always been curious as to how this was done.
Great video as always! Nice closeups for the audience.

Lemon peri simple easy no mistaking the cross

Great video thanks!
i just did that last week with my komodo dragon (orange) and fatalii whites.. used the fatalii pollen on a komodo flower.. looking forward how it turns out, as i'd prefer to get a white komodo dragon pepper :)
you know it has to be called a Chump Chilli right?
Great video! I would just like to add that the pollen itself doesn't exactly travel down. It grows a pollen tube in which to deliver the sperm.
Beautiful Quality! Thanks for the video! =)
So for the removal of the stamen would it be easier to remove it with a scalpel?
Sure, if you have steady hands
So, if I understand correctly, you pollinate and tag individual flowers, then plant out the seed from the resulting pepper to get your hybrid? Could have been a bit more clear about the steps, perhaps bullet points would help those of us who aren't good auditory learners or who are non-native English speakers.

Do you have to take the lemon drop pollen and pollinate the piri piri chilli over and over for every gen? Or do you just have to take the seeds and grow from the previous chilli-plant for every gen? Hope that made sense
You need to isolate in the next generations and make the plant self pollinate. You don't need to keep crossing
Lemon chumps for sure. Is it possible to cross say a green pepper( the big sweet ones) with a super hot chilli?
you could....but you may just end up with a sweet pepper that is smaller...rather than a superhot that is larger!
Chillichump so what you’re saying is that I could grow a super hot looking chilli that’s actually not, which will naturally impress the ladies 😏😂
lol...yeah something like that 😀
What is the process to go from F1 to stable? Do you just keep on harvesting seeds or do you manually cross pollinate each generation?
My ideal hybrid would be a very large tabasco with all that juice inside.
frutescens does not have any large peppers. However, some scholars believe frutescens to be very close to annuum. Wonder if that can be possible.
To get to stable you need to isolate the flowers of the new plant, and do that through 8 generations. I will show this process going forward!
Once you have planted the seeds from the crossed pepper do you leave them self pollinate themselves from then on to get a pure strain?
I continue to isolate them by pollinating them with themselves. I will do this for 7 generations until it is stable
Fascinating, need a steady hand for this, Peri Lemon is simple enough? Or Lemon Peri.
I had this happen naturally before. planted my banana peppers too close to my habanero's and ended up with some hot banana peppers :D Had some fun with people with those lmao.
The Persian Pomelo. Peri was a Persian mythological creature that seemed evil at first but ultimately turned out to be good. Pomelo is a large citrus fruit that is a close cousin of the lemon.
How important is it to cover the stigma with plastic bag or container, for the success of the process?
I don't think it's important. The plant should be pollinated when you are manually pollinating. Additionally, insects are unlikely to pollinate it because it has no petals...

Thank you.
I'm curious if I can get variegated very hot peppers? So this year I want to cross a variegated Tiger jalapeno with a yellow Habanero. Do you think it's better to use the variegated variety as a mother? Will it give more variegated seedlings?
Thanks!
Personally I would try both ways. There is no guarantee really which way would be more likely to pass on the traits you are looking for. Also you could get different results each time even if you kept the parents the same each time!
@@ChilliChump Thank you! I'll try to pollinate both varieties of pepper then.
There is another question. Which variety do you think would be more interesting to pollinate the variegated Tiger jalapeno? There is, as I mentioned, the yellow Habanera. And there is also Naga morich with white fruits (I don’t know the name of this variety. I bought it as White Naga). Tiger jalapeno itself has red striped fruits. I'm not sure exactly how the color of the fruit is inherited in peppers. 🤔🤷 Thank you!
What I would say is firstly make sure you are using a highly stabilised chilli....anything that is early gen cross can easily revert to the strongest genes....in this case, the jalapeno will be the stronger gene...so you are just as likely to end up with something resembling a normal jalapeno instead of the stripes and spotting you expect.
@@ChilliChump Well... Probably then it makes no sense to cross the variegated Jalapeno with one of those that I have listed.
I also have Carolina reaper, regular Naga morich, Black panther orange and chocolate Habanera. With whom is it better to cross a variegated Jalapeno for hotter peppers than the Jalapeno itself? Thank you!
I love your videos. Name for this heterozygot if ripens yellow: African canary. I guessed it right at the beginning of the video , on of the parent will be your peri-peri.
I have two questions one can I keep the polin of i pepper for 2 years and reuse for making i hybrid? the Second question if I cross two plants that make eatable fruits. would the hybrid make fruit eatable or not?
Pollen won't remain viable for 2 years. I am not sure what you are asking with your second question.
hi buddy i think maybe "perilemochump" or more simple cc-lemon-p " love the channel really got me into growing some myself my cross pollinate mix would be a choc naga and cayenne pepper i think both flavours would be great together 👍

I love the taste of Pepperadew or Pepperedew peppers but have found sources for seeds in the USA to be suspect. Don't know if the "Pepper-E-dew" is just some attempt to fool the unsuspecting customer into thinking they are buying a "Pepper-A-dew" or if that is just a different but acceptable spelling. Also one firm is selling " Malawi Piquante Pepper" as also known as Pepperadew>
Do you have a recommended sources for seeds for this pepper?
Thanks.
The Malawi piquante is the one you want. I believe I got my original seeds from the hippy seed company.
@@ChilliChump Thank you my friend. Yes it was the Hippy Seed Company that had it listed under that name. ON ORDER now.
Do you cross polinate both ways ,piri piri to lemon drop and lemon drop to piri piri ?
I did, yes. And then selected the ones that gave me the result I was after.
Crossing a lemon drop with a thai dragon would be very interesting. The lemon drop and Peri Peri cross should be named the Chump P or Chumpee.
Do you have a follow up video on what the seeds produced?
I did a update in my last video
@@ChilliChump thank you Shaun. I have been binging your updates, since I wrote the comment.
A great video. Unfortunately, I have not yet understood how it continues after F1. How do you get the variety varietal? Do you pick the plant from the F1 generation with the characteristics you like the most and then take the most attractive berry to get seeds from it and start the process again or do you have to cross again? Many greetings
For f2 you need to isolate the plant and pollinate it with itself. This will then result in the F2 generation. You choose the plant that has the traits you are looking for from the F1 seeds. You continue doing this through multiple generations until it has stabilised at F8.
@@ChilliChump thank you so much for your reply! Have a great day!
Would like to suggest as Hot Berry
I thought this is what you have been doing in your greenhouse all along. My suggestion would be to cross cayenne with jalapeño. Probably all ready done, please enlighten me?
All my questions answered and more
Thank you so much for this video. It's really informative. One of the things I don't understand is what happens to the seeds of the pollinated pepper. What happens if I take the seeds of the cross peper and plant them? Is it related to 7:46 that says something about generations? Also if someone can explain what "stable" means in this context, that would be amazing.
Stable means you isolate the pepper through multiple generations of growth. To get them properly stable you need at least 7 generations. If the seed is not stable, then you will get something different from what you expect from your plant when you grow your seeds.
@@ChilliChump thank you for the clarification. So if I understand correctly, I should get the seeds of my crosspolinated pepper, grow them, identify the ones I am most interested in, get the seeds, and repeat the process 7 times to make sure that the genetic profile is rigid?
Like I mention in this video, when you cross pollinate a flower with another flower, the pepper that grows from that cross pollination will be the same as the mother plant. The seeds however will grow into a cross of the two plants. That seed will be F1 (1st generation). When you grow that plant, you need to isolate it so that it doesn't cross pollinate with another plant, or else you have to start again. So you pollinate it with itself. The isolate seeds from the peppers of the F1 plant can then be planted, and grown...that will be F2 (second generation). etc. etc.
@@ChilliChump You are the best! I understand now and thank you for the detailed explanation. The reason why I got interested and fascinated in peppers is because I decided to plant the seeds of a round bell pepper. To my suprise the plants bloomed and fruited horn shaped peppers, I am still trying to identify the variety. Your video and answer gave me an insight on how/why. I now suspect an unstable cross-pollinated reason. Greetings and much respect from Stockholm Sweden.
