Red Trinidad Scorpion chilli pepper is one serious chilli with more than a just sting in its tail - it’s an explosion! It is a bumpy shaped red chilli and a number of the pods develop a ‘tail’ hence the name of ‘scorpion’.
Red Trindad Scorpion pods have a thin skin & measure 5-7.5cm long by 3cm wide. It is a tall variety that can reach 1m but it needs a long season to fruit so needs to be sown indoors very early in the season.
Tricky to grow & germinate – needs very specific temps but when successful it is worth the effort & wait.
