🌱 Variety

Habanero de Arbol, sometimes written as Habanero de Árbol, is a chili-hybrid that merges habanero spice with the slender, upright form of árbol peppers. Known regionally in Jalisco and Veracruz, Mexico, this variety combines vibrant heat and distinctive conical shape with deep cultural roots. The name “de árbol” translates as “tree,” hinting at its upright, woody branches.

---

🔬 Species

This pepper belongs to Capsicum chinense, the same species as classic habaneros, Scotch bonnets, and ghost peppers. As with its relatives, it produces high capsaicin levels—resulting in a fiery heat profile.

---

🌍 Origin

Habanero de Arbol is rooted in Mexico’s eastern states like Veracruz and Tabasco, where it has been cultivated by local farmers for generations. It represents a natural or selected cross between traditional habaneros and árbol-type chilies, offering both exceptional heat and culinary versatility.

---

🧬 Hybridizer (if applicable)

This chili is primarily a landrace, not a modern hybrid. It was refined by local farmers and small breeders selecting for vigorous growth and reliable yields. Today, it's a highly adapted strain known for early fruiting and excellent performance in warm climates.

🎯 Description

Pods are upright and conical, measuring 3–5 cm (1.2–2 inches) long and ripening from glossy green to radiant red. They are slightly tapered, resembling miniature Christmas peppers, hence the name ‘de árbol.’ Though smaller than standard habaneros, their pods are thicker and firmer, offering an intense, slightly smoky fruit aroma with scorching, lingering heat that builds toward the back of the throat.

🌿 Plant Size

Plants grow to a height of 60–90 cm (2–3 feet) with sturdy, upright branches packed with peppers. Their neat, bushy habit makes them ideal for both garden beds and container growing. They also produce flavorful ornamental interest thanks to abundant pods throughout the season.

---

🌡️ Pungency

Classified as Very Hot, Habanero de Árbol ranges between 100,000–250,000 SHU, similar to classic habaneros but packing more complexity and a smoky finish. SHU values are derived from comprehensive chili-heat surveys and laboratory analysis.

---

🌱 Grow Difficulty

This pepper is moderate to cultivate. It requires:

• Warm temperatures (25–32 °C / 77–90 °F)
• Full sun (8+ hours/day)
• Rich, well-drained soil
• Consistent watering (soil should stay moist but never waterlogged)
• Protection from frost or cool temperatures below 18 °C (65 °F)

Although not frost-hardy, it's tolerant of high humidity and heat—ideal for warm-temperate to tropical climates.

---

⏳ Days to Germination

Under optimal conditions (soil at 25–30 °C), seeds germinate within 7–14 days. Cooler conditions can extend this period to 21 days.

---

🌾 Days to Harvest After Transplant

After transplanting, expect to begin harvesting in about 70–90 days. Small pods start as early as 60 days in warm weather, but most mature reds appear by 90 days.

---

🍽️ Culinary Uses

Thanks to its intense yet flavorful heat, this pepper is a favorite for:

• Salsas & hot sauces—especially those calling for layered, smoky-vegetal depth
• Pickled peppers—great with garlic and citrus in Mexican escabeche
• Drying into árbol-style flakes—perfect for soups, stews, and chili powders
• Infused oils and vinegars—adds both heat and color
• Stir-fries and marinades—delivers spice with authentic Latin flair
