Description
The Pimenta Jolokia Pink Ice is a striking superhot chilli that combines the genetics of Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) and Pimenta de Neyde, resulting in a plant that is as ornamental as it is fiery.
Pod Description
Long, slender, ghost-pepper-shaped pods, typically 5–8 cm long.
The skin is wrinkled and slightly bumpy, with a pointed tip.
Pods ripen through shades of purple and lavender before developing a distinctive icy pink to peach-pink colour, giving the variety its “Pink Ice” name.
Plant Characteristics
Dark purple stems and foliage inherited from Pimenta de Neyde.
Purple-veined leaves create a dramatic contrast with the pale pink fruit.
Vigorous plants can exceed 1.2 m (4 ft) in height under good growing conditions.
Heat and Flavour
Falls firmly into the superhot category, with heat comparable to a strong Bhut Jolokia.
Delivers an intense, creeping burn that builds steadily.
Beneath the heat is a fruity, slightly citrus flavour with subtle floral notes.
Overall Impression
The Pimenta Jolokia Pink Ice is one of the most visually unusual superhots available: dark ornamental foliage carrying pale pink ghost-shaped pods. It offers a combination of extreme heat, attractive colouring, and good productivity, making it highly prized by chilli collectors and growers looking for something different.
