Pepper Extreme 'Chocolate Trindad Scorpion'

Chocolate Trinidad Scorpion is similar to Trinidad Scorpion but with a sweeter, mellower, less acidic flavour with some smoky undertones. This variety registers 1,200,000-2,000,000 Scoville Heat Units; use caution when consuming and handling. 

You can harvest your peppers once they are firm and have reached their mature size, but they will be sweeter (and hotter!) the longer you leave them on the plant. 

Peppers need full sun and lots of heat to grow. Wait until soil and nighttime temperatures are reliably above 18°C before transplanting outdoors. The soil should be fertile and well-drained. When you water, water deeply and let the top of the soil dry out before watering again.

Use caution when harvesting and cooking with hot peppers. Wear gloves and wash your hands well before touching anything.
