For everyone looking for the seeds, I have some for sale on my website. I got my seeds at a small market in Tacloban. They are the real deal!

Hello there,

And greetings from Finland. I have positive match of some Siling Labyo plants here too. My friend took some chile pods when he was diving some small island in Philippines.

Small island where no one leaves to mainland until all the flours of the willage was used :)

It took long to germinate and growing speed is also low. But when I see the flovers and the fruit, I am about 95% sure, it’s Siling Labyuo

Amazing article MarketMan. like Ed, being in NY, we only have the Thai chilies which are long aand not as tasty. i’m wondering if there’s anyone home who has spare seeds to share, i would love to hear from you!! you can reach me at “letsgetpaid @ hotmail dot com”

its funny how its so abundant at home, growing where you least expect it, yet impossible to find elsewhere. i’m so envious of all of you who have it growing in your backyaard without even intentionally planting them :)

Last May I brought some sili labuyo home from my Tita’s house in Davao. I dried and flattened them and placed them in my carry on luggage to USA. I sprouted about 5 seeds I am growing in plants and 2 of those plants are going to be in a garden at a Chicago Museum. 3 of the plants I am growing in my personal garden for seed saving. I hope they fruit. I loved your articles on sili you post, and I pass them to my gardening friends who do not know about Filipino vegetables. Since it is cold where I live for most of the year, I start my plants indoors and bring them out in June- September, same as my Kalamansi. There was abundance in Davao of sili labuyo served for sawsawan last May.

As for the Dayap, most citrus is propagated by cuttings and laying upon a rootstock. I know I have read Kalamansi can come true from seed, but I have not found any botanical literature yet about Dayap. For those intereseted in their own Dayap, it is best to grown from a cutting you know is Dayap rather than seed, because then you know what you are getting. You never know what happens with cross pollination because Citrus sp. hybridized readily.

Hey Marketman, great blog! I just found it and am working on catching up on the archives. How can I get in on some of those siling labuyo seeds? I live in Los Angeles and I am now pretty sure that we only have the Thai Bird Chilies…I want to plant the real thing! Thanks again for the great work on your blog, it’s very helpful to those of us abroad, or who did not grow up in the Philippines. (Me, I’m both.)

Edit to add: I just realized I put the wrong email address in my signature…please reply to vplane9@gmail.com. Thanks Marketman!
