Details
The Ghostly Jalapeno is a cross between a Jalapeno and a Bhut Jolokia (Ghost). Created by American grower Jack Skaggs back in 2012 in Ohio. The peppers have a very unique, fruity and floral flavor. They are not as hot as Ghost peppers and it seems that the Jalapeno has tempered the somewhat earthy flavor of the Ghost. Pods are long and narrow with bumpy shapes. Plants are very productive and grow well in pots. A must grow for any ghost pepper lover. Non-Isolated.
