your reaper still may turn out to be something else as well.  really impossible to tell until you see the fruit.  thats the best way to tell but even then it can still be hard to tell 100%.  there are other peppers that share some of the similar traits as the reaper (as people know them) being bumpy and with a tail.  there is the "primo" for example and whiel they are two different peppers some people will swear they are the same.  also, the reaper can vary in shape and texture and at times can look like other peppers such as scorpions or brain strains.  so you have reapers that Can look like other peppers and other peppers that CAN look like reapers.

Frank.  your ghost looks more like a habanero to me.  ghosts are usually more elongated and really bumpy.  thats a nice looking reaper.  I have quite a few or rare and super hot peppers including several carolina reapers.  ive sold a few of my reaper starter plants on ebay.  some of my reapers now have over 100 flowers on them and some pods.

Hello.  I have been lurking on here for a while now and am finally getting around to posting.  I just recently found a fig tree in my neighborhood that has great figs on it and I want to know if anyone can tell me what kind it is.  The owner didnt know what kind it was, just that it came from her country.  We zone 6b but close to the 7a line and it looks to have been in the ground for a long time without protection since its pretty large.  they have a closed eye but quite a few of the figs are split on the tree, im assuming due to some cold nights lately but there are still plenty that are ripening.  I wasted a few early picking some that I thought were ripe but still had a ways to go as they seem to be best when a little over ripe.  they are very clean tasting.  they can be a deep deep red inside, they are not too rich but can be very sweet and have a very berry taste to them.  heres a few pics.  if I need to take a few more pictures I can.  so, what say you?
