Further InformationEdit Edit

A C. chinense type. Ripens to brown/chocolate, habanero-type pods, with tail. Rates 500,000–1,390,000 SHU, which means extremely hot, in superhot territory. Scorpion peppers are named for the pointed tail at the bottom of the pod, curling like a scorpion's stinger. A deliberate cross — check parentage for lineage details.
