CARDI (Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute) plays a key role in the development of the Caribbean regional hot pepper industry. 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.

Heat Level: Extreme Scoville: 850,000 Capsicum chinense (100 days)

Warning: Handling this pepper requires extreme caution. Wear hand, eye and breathing protection. Heat Level: Extreme, Severe and Intense.

Capsicum chinense strains require a great deal of attention during the germination process. Moisture and a constant and consistent heat range must be maintained. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into containers. 


All of our seeds are GMO-free.

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).
