Description: A pioneering horticulturist's meticulous efforts have given rise to a novel, scorching hot pepper variety. By merging the genetic lines of the notorious Carolina Reaper and the enigmatic Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion, a distinctive, peach-hued hybrid has emerged. Following years of rigorous cultivation and selection, this new entity has begun to reveal its characteristics. Although its official Scoville rating remains pending, its pedigree suggests a formidable heat profile, likely rivaling that of its Carolina Reaper parent, which boasts an average SHU rating of 1,569,300. Flavorwise, this innovative pepper is said to inherit the sweet, fruity undertones that have made its predecessor a sought-after sensation.
