Details
Peach in color only, this pepper is HOT! Created in Pennsylvania by Jay Weaver, this is a cross between Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion and a Reaper. Peppers have a spectacular shape and fruity flavors. The Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion Reaper has been described as one with an immediate burn that slowly climbs from the back of your throat to your sinuses. Pods grow with all the bumps and contortions you'd expect in a superhot, sometimes with tails. Peppers ripen from green to lighter shades of red and pink, and then to a gorgeous, unforgettable peach color. Non-Isolated.
