Further InformationEdit Edit

⚠ UNLICENSED VARIANT: PuckerButt Pepper Co. (Ed Currie) holds the Carolina Reaper trademark. No licensed "Mini Red" variant exists. This is likely an unstable F-segregant or marketing rename, not an authentic Carolina Reaper line. A smaller-podded variant of the Carolina Reaper (C. chinense). Same extreme heat (1,400,000–2,200,000 SHU) as the standard red Reaper, habanero-type pods with scorpion tail, but with a more compact fruit size. Red at maturity. Carolina Reaper Mini selections are grown for higher pod count per plant due to the smaller pod size.
