Habanero Ebony Giant
Habanero Ebony Giant Chilli Seeds. The Habanero Ebony Giant (C. Chinense) is a lovely variation on the Habanero Chocolate. Though very similar, we do believe these two to be different. The mother plant for this variety grew quite tall for a Habanero, reaching a height of around 80cm. A good producer of fair sized pods that are slightly elongated and have a super sexy velvety brown exterior with these awesome folds. These pods are sweet and herbaceaous and dish out a very hot burn that is up at the top of the Habanero SHU range.
We suspect that this variety is not totally stable as we did pick up a variant of this variety that came through with the same pheno, butred pods - not brown. A very nice variety also, ripening to an increadible dark red colour. Flavour of the red pods was rich, sweet and fruity.

* 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.
