VEGETABLE HOT CHILLI PEPPER TRINIDAD MORUGA SCORPION CARAMELL
Until recently the hottest pepper in the world at between 1.3 – 2.0 million scovilles. This NEW caramell strain of the ever popular red variety delivers slightly less heat than its parent but still well in the lethal bracket. The fruit has a slightly more fruity flavour with the pods slightly smaller produced on vigorous plants with a rough outer skin. Once past the heat level the flavour is very distinctively fruity and floral making an excellent combination.
