Brazillian Reaper Chilli Seeds
Brazillian Reaper Chilli Seeds. The Brazillian Reaper (C. Chinense) is a hybrid variety that is a cross between the Brazillian Ghost Pepper and the Carolina Reaper - hence its name. This is actually a very cool variety to grow. In our experience, this variety does not seem 100% stable. Normal germination, followed by good consistent growth, makes this variety stand out. Plants are very much Chinense, with large branching plants that can reach 60 - 80cm in height. A good producer in our books, producing lots of large, uneven, gnarly - angry looking pods. There does appear to be an inconsistent pheno on these. While some pods show small tails, others do not - but this is also the case with the pure Carolina Reaper strain. Pods ripen from a green to lovely red colour when fully ripe. As mentioned, these pods are lumpy and bumpy and increadibly hot. Tasty, very tasty - but insanely hot! The inside of these pods is full of placenta and oil, so expect serious heat :) Aroma wise, these pods reveal a fruity & floral aroma. The floral probably coming from the Ghost Pepper side of things. Heat wise, we would place the Brazillian Reaper at 1,000,000 - 1,300,000 SHU. It will fluctuate according to growing conditions, but this is a very hot pepper by any standards. Use sparingly in your cooking or great for drying and making chilli powder, or liquidise and make a cracking chilli sauce.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
