Trinidad Scorpion ButchT X Bhut Jolokia Chilli Seeds
Trinidad Scorpion ButchT X Bhut Jolokia Chilli Seeds. A hybrid between a TS ButchT & Bhut Jolokia. Heat is somewhere between 800,000 to 1,300,000 SHU. It is a medium size plant, growing to about 1,2m x 0,5m x 0,5m. Easy growing. Fast growing and prolific podder. Pods are huge. Ripening from a dark green to an iridescent off red/orange colour. Plant yields plenty tear drop shaped, wrinkled pods that are thin skinned and hollow - yet crisp in texture. The heat on these pods is severe giving an ulcerating stinging tongue experienced with the ButchT and the lengthy lingering burn of the Bhut Jolokia. Taste is extremely fruity with citrus undertones.

* 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.
