Did a Mississippi man grow the world's tallest pepper plant? Cayenne might break recordMississippi Clarion LedgerBonnie BoldenJan. 25 2025Did a Mississippi man grow the world's tallest pepper plant?Henry Pope, the lead grower and plant geneticist for Mississippi Foundation for Renewable Energy, worked to cross-pollinate specific peppers for seven years. He thinks he has a world record holding cayenne and is waiting on confirmation from the Guinness Book of World Records.Pope started the project seven years earlier and six generations of plants earlier. "The original parent plants were a variety of long cayenne produced by myself for Mississippi Foundation for Renewable Energy and a himo togarashi pepper."He said he spends a lot of time working in gardens, the greenhouse and a lab looking to develop open-pollinated, edible plants. Growing a record-holder wasn't the original goal, but it became clear the opportunity was in sight with this one."We called it the record plant because I suppose we always assumed it would be the world's tallest pepper plant (or I did), but that was more of a joke really," he said.(more)https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2025/01/25/cayenne-grown-in-mississippi-might-break-tallest-pepper-plant-world-record-see-how/77876823007

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
