...All available information says that temperatures above 32c will cause flower drop. Over the last 20 days the temperature has been 35 - 37c; in that time I harvested 4 peppers and since the harvest 4 days ago flower drop has been intermittent and approximately 6 fruits have set. There are roughly 30 flowers on any given day. There are no fruit on the plant now except for the newly set ones.
It would appear that temperatures above 32c do not completely stop fruit from setting on this plant.
The flavor from the 4 pepper harvest is fantastic and the heat level is excellent.
On another note; I planted 20 seeds yesterday in coir plugs. 10 orange Habanero and 10 seeds from the harvested red Habanero fruits. We're hoping this will solve the germination problem.
