Capsicum Chinense 'Jays Peach Ghost Scorpion'

Chilli 'Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion'

A small upright shrub with glossy green leaves of varying sizes depending on the variety. Chillies tend to be long, narrow, tapering fruit. The single flowers are an off-white (sometimes purplish) color while the stem is densely branched and up to 24ins tall. 'Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion' is a hot chilli (SCU 900,000) and a very unusual colour and shape. It is, as the name suggests, a peachy pink colour, and quite twisted and irregular in form. As it is a cross ( between Ghost Chilli (Bhut Jolokia) and a Trinidad Scorpion) the colour can vary.
