Hot Chilli Pepper - Capsicum chinense
Trinidad Scorpion Orange a nice hot chilli with a scorpion flavour, possibly a cross between a scorpion and a Congo. The Orange Scorpion chilli was found by a local grower in Europe amongst a field of scorpions back in 2007. Fantastic flavour with more heat than the Congo peppers. Heavy cropping plants with light green foliage can grow to a height of approx 1m. Pods ripen from light green to light orange, most pods will look similar to the Congo yellow chillies, slightly wrinkled and some will have the scorpion tail.
