Trinidad Scorpion Red Original Pepper plant

Just a quick look at the pods on this Trinidad Scorpion plant tell you that this isn't going to be mild. The plants themselves are quite tall and produce a good number of pods which mature from green - orange - red when ripe. Their characteristic shape sees a two or three inch pendant which tapers to a sharp point, resembling a tail - hence the name, Trinidad Scorpion. This is one of the hottest peppers out there, and was used to cross with Bhut jolokia and Naga Morich to make the Naga viper. This variety tested at an average of 1,029,000 SHUs and some fruits are up to 1,392,000 SHUs, proving that this variety is hotter than the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper).
