TT has them, 1 gal for $14.95. Gardino's at gardinosnursery.com has the Grand Duke in a one-gallon size for $15. Logee's also has them, but Logee's plants are always small. I have bought from all three of these many times over a several year period. I would suggest you get the one-gallon simply because they can take a while to get that size, and Logee's are smaller but not cheaper. I got A grand Duke from TT a few weeks ago. Nice thick plant. They spray them with some iron solution that makes the leaves very ugly for a while, doesn't come off. But the plant itself was big and healthy.

I also purchased one in N. Cal at a Yardbirds Hardware. I have been a chile fanatic for 25+ years and in all my years of growing, eating and researching their origins I have never heard of a Puta tree chile. I bought it for one reason; it looks like an example of Capsicum pubescence. this species is one of my favorite chiles, most commonly called a Manzano, Caballo, Canarios or Rocoto. The three distinguishing traits are purple to bluish flowers, fuzzy to hairy leaves and stems (hence the name, C. pubescence) and black to brownish-black seeds. This "Puta Tree" is different from the three C. pubescences I already grow in that the leaves are somewhat smaller, are darker green and the plant appears to have a less open growth habitÂbut then I just got it so IÂll know more about it by the end of this growing season. They (C. pubescences) will over-winter as long as they do not freeze hard. I cover mine with frost cloth for the duration of the cold weather and the oldest one is now 4 years. They will die back and that seems to be ok as new growth in the spring will fill the plant out again. And, they can get quite large for a chile, mine are up to six feet across and about as tallÂand they are heavy producers too so I hope you like chiles!

sushipup, I have never seen in the test forum how to post multiple pictures to a thread. It seems that this is the most common problem on GardenWeb. My photobucket account lost half of my pictures. Is there a way to post multiple pics without using a photosharing account? Why not? Why can't you load multiple pics from your computer picture file? Did I miss something?

When I am on my laptop (IBM/Lenovo), I use the drop down on the back button and go all the way back to the main forum list home page at one time. I don't 'back' up through each of the pages individually (submit, preview, thread, home). I never have the duplicate post problem on the laptop. Only on the iPad and only when I preview more than once before submitting. Also, I have never had the problem of the preview working as a submit. I suggest going to the test forum and testing out different ways of doing it to see if you can duplicate the problem you are having. Then you will know what to do to avoid it.
