About
Pods are irregular and often look mean, with spikes, bumps, and occasional tails. They ripen from dark green to red. Flavor is fruity and slightly floral, better than many superhots, with a sweet outer membrane and a deeper savory note once the heat hits. Plants produce well for a chinense type under full sun.
Backstory
Kevin Bane selected Ragnarok from the best plant in a 2022 growout of his F3 line. He offers F5 seed from that plant and describes the line as fairly stable.
