Why are there asterisks after the Scoville ratings? There is one in the first paragraph and one in the box to the left without any explanation. 14:47, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
The Pimento is considered a variety of the same species as well. They are all Capsicum annuum and perhaps these three articles should be combined into a single article about that species. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric
The List of Capsicum Cultivars page suggests a Scoville rating of 30-60 for the Pequin, while this page states a much higher rating of 100-140. Which is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbhphoto (talk • contribs) 15:26, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd contest the height, the ones I've grown are about double the maximum height given in the article. Poor germination is a problem but there are a lot of seeds and fallen fruit provide new plants. Heat wise, they give a very sharp, quick burn that does not last as long as other chillis so that may confuse the ratings. Disease wise, they are very susceptible to spider mite and need regular spraying late summer/early autumn to protect them, once they get the mite they are done for but new plants take their place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.177.131.158 (talk) 05:56, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
