About
Pods are elongated and wrinkled, like a small ghost pepper, and ripen yellow with black mottling that is stronger on fruit that gets sunlight. Flavor is a bit more citrusy than the orange Hallows Eve type. Plants carry dark foliage and need a long warm season and full sun. Ripe fruit works in sauces, powders, and drying. Use a small piece.
Backstory
