We always want more photos of White Ghost Pepper. Every photo you add is credited to you.
A superhot C. chinense from India, 855,000 to 1,041,427 SHU. The pods hang down, 2 to 3 inches long, green going to white, habanero-shaped with medium-thick walls. Plants reach over 48 inches with white flowers.
A pale ghost with cream-white, wrinkled, pointed pods, full ghost heat and a fruity aroma. Jay Weaver's Pennsylvania strain is rough and pimply rather than smooth, with citrus under the burn.
Universal Pepper Nomenclature
One code for one pepper, no matter what people call it. Universal Pepper Nomenclature sits behind the names people use and describes the pepper itself: the species, the color it ripens to, its skin, the shape of the pod, and how hot it runs. The last three digits tell apart peppers that match on all of that.
Six parts, always in this order, always split by hyphens. The WikiPepper Foundation board issues every code. Editors cannot create or edit a code.
