About
The pods are elongated and wrinkled, ripening from green to bright yellow, and often carry a distinctive tail. Flavor opens with floral and citrus notes before the superhot burn. Plants reach 60 to 90 cm, yield heavily, and suit extreme sauces or powders. Because the line is unstable, pod color and shape can vary.
Backstory
Grown out in Western Australia from Caramel 7 Pot Primo material. The name comes from the heat that stopped Australian chili enthusiast Matthew Price when he sampled it. Seed companies sell it as an open-pollinated selection of that 7 Pot Primo lineage.
