This elongated Red Habanero type is renowned for its mouth-blistering heat. The plants are relatively compact & sprawling compared to other Habanero varieties and produce excellent yields of 3 in x 1 in pendant shaped fruits which ripen from lime green to a bright iridescent scarlet red. This pepper is not fully mature, the season ran out. Origin: Peru. PI: 315008. Scoville units: 100,000-300,000
