This plant of Trinidad Scorpion FG has not produced any matured yellow pods this year. Even though it has been producing pods during summer and autumn. All the pods have gone from green to brownish green and then they went “over matured”. When “over matured” the color of the pods have some yellow parts. I have seen pods on other plants that go from not matured directly to an "over matured" stage. But never before have I seen that this happens to all the pods on a plant. I took some pictures on the pods, se below.

I have seen tomatoes that where green when matured like green grape and green zebra. But I have never seen a green matured pepper. At the first I thought this might just be a green matured pepper, a hybrid from Trinidad Scorpion FG. But after tasting the pepper I realized that all the pods in the picture tasted like in mature pods and no one had any heat. This I believe indicates that the pods never matured as they should.

I did grow the plant in big aluminum coffee can. Maybe the pods did not like the aluminum or maybe it has been to wet in the aluminum container. Only the pods showed this feature the leaves and the steams showed no distress.
