A C. chinense variety. Ripens to red, habanero-type pods, with tail. Rates 400,000–850,000 SHU, which means extremely hot, in superhot territory. Associated with Trinidad & Tobago. Parentage: C. chinense × C. frutescens. The scorpion tail trait is one of the most distinctive features in the superhot pepper world. A deliberate cross — check parentage for lineage details.
