Details
The Lemon Reaper is a cross between the Aji Lemon and the Carolina Reaper, the hottest of chilli peppers. The Lemon Reaper was then crossed with another mystery pepper, and this was the outcome. Fruits are smooth-skinned and red. The flavor is intense with a citrusy aftertaste, and spiciness is strong without being exaggerated. Harvest is abundant. Non-Isolated.
