Hi all. I'm new to Tomato Junction, but some years ago I was a member of Tomatoville. I've just got seriously back into gardening and have a big request to make re Zolotistyi seed.
I haven't had any success germinating my old seed from 2016. It's the most wonderful capsicum, with the loveliest flavour and I was wondering if anyone had any seed? I have a lot of varieties of tomato seed that I could swap/exchange with you.

Welcome A Sunny Day, good to see you on here. Unfortunately I can't help with this seed.

@a sunny day I hadn't heard of that pepper before but it looks like one that I might try next year. Victory Seeds is one company that carries it...

Hi Whwoz, Thank you for your welcome! And that's ok that you can't help me with the seed!

Thank you for your reply! I will contact them but as Whwoz mentioned, I'm not sure if they will be able to send them to me.

Refining Fire Chilies has them although they're a little more than they are from Victory. When you checkout shipping to Australia is an option.

Victory will ship them, but they warn you that they don't provide any documentation and that if they're confiscated or lost before arriving at an international destination that they won't be responsible for the loss.

Andrey Baranovski, a member of Tomatoville, introduced Zolotistyi to the US. I don't know if he is still selling seeds, and I don't know if he's also a member, here.

@Andrey He is a member here but hasn't checked in for over 18 months.

Thank you Lemony! That is great to know! I think I'll follow up with Victory seeds first. Their picture is exactly what the capsicums I grew looked like!
