Trinidad Scorpion ButchT Chilli Seeds
Trinidad Scorpion ButchT Secluded Chilli Seeds. The Trinidad Scorpion ButchT (C. Chinense) was previously the World's Hottest Chilli and held this title from 2011 - 2013. This variety comes from Australia… and while their cricket and Rugby is weak :)) this chilli is boss. Top heat was measured at 1,463,700 SHU, which is plenty hot to take your head off. Good growers, nice bushy plant structure with a generous crop of magma hot chilli pods. Pods are really awesome with a very distinct Trinidad Scorpion shape - stinger at the tip that looks really intimidating. Story has it that this chilli was named by Neil Smith after Butch Taylor who supplied the seeds. Two very respected chilli growers in the international chilli community and one very fine chilli that should definitely be respected. Lovely fruity flavour up front with an absolute unrelenting burn to follow. This is probably one of the most painful chillies we have ever tasted. Ulcerating, tongue piercing pain and burning hot coals at the back of the throat. A little definitely goes a long way :)

* 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.
