About
Pods ripen from green through purple or dark stages to a soft peach with mottled surfaces and the characteristic pockmarks. Many fruits show irregular contours or short tails. Flavor is fruity with citrus and floral notes under superhot heat. Plants typically carry dark foliage and produce well once established in a long warm season.
Backstory
Commercial seed listings describe Pockmark Peach as an Australian selection from the Ghost Pepper by Pimenta da Neyde cross. The line is also associated with related color variants such as Pockmark Orange and Pockmark Cream.
