The pods are bigger, longer and thicker than the Red Trinidad Scorpion at 4” dia. Plants are 36” tall.

Nuclear hot!!

Don't cut these up without some eye protection and gloves, woo boy! Makes a bomb hot sauce!
Thanks for the great seeds, I had good germination with the heat mat. (7 out of 10 sprouted, which for super hots, was pretty good).
