The Big Black Mama peppers are perfect if you are an avid hot pepper collector or simply a lover of all mind-numbing hot peppers. This is a cross between Naga Morich and 7 Pot Trinidad Douglah created by Troy Primeaux of Louisiana Lafayette University. Plants can produce a bountiful harvest of fruits that are almost 2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Pods have a distinct dark chocolate brown or dark reddish-brown color and very wrinkly skin. Flavor is sweet and fruity with citrus tones. This Big Black Mama puts fear in your bones just looking at it. Non-Isolated.
