The Faddas Poison Tail chilli is a modern Capsicum chinense super-hot variety created through selective breeding by the breeder known as \u201cFaddas Peppers.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s best known for its extreme heat, unusual \u201ctail\u201d shape, and unstable colour variations across generations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Origin & genetics<\/p>\n
It was developed from a cross involving:<\/p>\n
Jay\u2019s Peach Ghost Scorpion<\/p>\n
Carolina Reaper<\/p>\n
SRTSL (a super-hot lineage)<\/p>\n
This makes it part of the same ultra-hot group as ghost peppers and reapers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Heat level<\/p>\n
Classed as a super-hot chilli (C. chinense)<\/p>\n
Likely well over 1 million SHU, comparable to Carolina Reaper\u2013level heat depending on phenotype<\/p>\n
Intense capsaicin concentration, especially in the placenta (the internal \u201ccore\u201d of the pod)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Appearance<\/p>\n
Long, pointed \u201ctail\u201d or stinger at the end of the pod<\/p>\n
Ripens from green\u00a0 to red, though other colour variants exist in later generations<\/p>\n
Reported phenotype s include red, white, orange, and even pink lines as the strain stabilised<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Plant characteristics<\/p>\n
Tall, vigorous plants (often up to ~1.8 m)<\/p>\n
Very productive under good conditions<\/p>\n
Strong branching with heavy pod set<\/p>\n
Requires warm, long growing seasons like other super-hots<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Flavour profile<\/p>\n
Fruity, typical of ghost\/reaper-type chinense peppers<\/p>\n
Initial sweetness followed by delayed, explosive heat build-up<\/p>\n
Heat tends to be very lingering rather than sharp and fast<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Summary<\/p>\n
The Faddas Poison Tail is essentially a highly unstable but extremely hot \u201cdesigner super-chilli\u201d, combining ghost pepper and reaper genetics with a distinctive tail shape and multiple evolving colour variants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
