Big Caribbean Habaneros


Capsicum chinense


 These peppers range from 300,000 - 500,000 scoville units. They are heavy producers of peppers and can take up to 120 days to harvest. They can get up to 2" diameter and are very pungent when ripe. These were the size of small tomatoes and extremely hot with a fruity like flavor. This one plant I had produced over 200 peppers. These plants should be started early for guaranteed harvesting in late summer. I dried about a hundred for later use, which are great for grinding into powders to adding to salsas.
