This CARDI strain was created in an effort to standardize and improve the Yellow Scorpion Pepper for industry.The chile pods color from green to golden yellow during ripening. The pods are bigger, longer and thicker than the Red Trinidad Scorpion at 4” dia. Plants are 36” tall.

I grow these seeds and had lots of pods on tall plants, they had great fruity and spicy flavor. I love using them in fresh salsa.

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).
