Ghost Bhut Jolikia
C. Chinense
1,000,000 – 1,100,000 SHUThe Ghost Bhut Jolokia, Bhut Jolokia or Ghost Chilli has been around for quite a while and is very popular and well respected. It was the Hottest in the world in 2007 as well as the first chilli ever to rate over 1 million SHU. It is still held in high regard when it comes to flavour and is still a favorite of many hard core chilli heads (us included). It is commonly used in most great commercial chilli sauces and powders. If you have ever had hot chilli sauce that makes you want to rip your tongue from your head and beat it with a stick, chances are it was made with Ghost chillies!

Habajig
C.Chinense
800,000 – 1,000,000 SHUThe Habajig is a crazy cross we got from a friend and we don’t know much about it except it is a cross between a Hab Big Sun and a Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw. The pods are ginormous at about palm size and they are burn your eyebrows off hot. If you are one of those people who love to grow unstable crosses this one at around F4 may be enticing. The Habajig is a crazy good producer and is great made into chilli powder. Grow it just to see what interesting results you get.

Habalokia Peach Lavalamp
C. Chinense
Approx 350,000 – 500,000 SHUSeeds for this interesting one came from a friend and we have little information on it. We think it is possibly a cross between a habanero variety and the red lavalamp chilli. It may not be fully stable but that said we were so impressed with the look and flavour we thought we would share it. This interesting mutant cross grew like a beast and produced like crazy. Plant grew quite compact and was about 70cm tall potted. The pods average 3cm long by 2cm wide giving them a blocky like appearance. Flavour wise we think they have a sweet almost peachy like taste with a slow intense all over mouth burn. If you like your mutant crosses this is one for the collection.

Hallows Eve
C. Chinense
800,000 – 1.000,000 SHUHallows Eve is a great name for a chilli. They start life solid black but turn into molten lava and will burn you accordingly! These are another terrific cross of Bhut Joloka and Pimenta De Neyde. Not only do they look great but when you cut them open the smell is soooo fruity! We think its one of the best smelling super-hots if that’s your thing. It doesn’t end there. It tastes incredible AND its extremely prolific! You will get hundreds of the bush. This chilli has a huge future and will be a benchmark. We are so impressed its getting 10/10 from us!

Jamaican Scotch Bonnet
C. Chinense
250,000 – 300,000 SHUBIG UP to this chilli pepper – as the Jamaicans would say – meaning RESPECT…
This is a very popular chilli in the Caribbean and is used for making Jerk sauce, hot sauce and many other traditional Jamaican dishes. Not only does the Jamaican Scotch Bonnet chilli taste amazing with its sweet fruity zing, it is super easy to grow. Its close to say an orange habanero in heat but is sweeter with flavour undertones of apple/orange. Of course its called a Scotch Bonnet because it has the classic bonnet hat shape. Fruit ripen to a glossy yellow/orange colour and get up to 5cms long and 6cms wide. A must have if you’re into making hot sauce we’d say.10+ Seeds

Jamaican Yellow
C. Chinense
200,000 SHUNo prizes for guessing where these chillies originate from! Everything that has been said about the Jamaican Red can also be said for the Jamaican Yellow. Looks great. Tastes great. Is great! It’s probably not as hot as the Red and makes great sauces and marinades.

Jay’s Choc Ghost Scorpion
C. Chinense
900,000 SHUJays Chocolate Ghost Scorpion was discovered by a guy called (strangely enough) Jay in Pennsylvania and remains fairly unstable. The good thing is it tastes like the Jays Red but is a lot hotter! It has a hint of floral flavour which a lot of chilliheads love. We liked growing it and it produced quite well! Give it a shot if you would like to see what cool shapes you may get!

Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion
C. Chinense
900,000 SHUJay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion is a winner if you are chasing incredible heat. The cross of a Ghost Chilli and a Trinidad Scorpion by Jay Weaver presents us with this gnarly peach coloured Chilli! It is now about 7 generations old so getting very stable. A bit milder in flavour than the Ghost is nice and the slightly floral and sweet flavour is very good. At about 900,000 SHU, it’s running with the big boys and not to be taken lightly. Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion is on most hardcore chilli growers list for a good reason!

Klavo Peach
C. Chinense
60,000-100,000 SHUIf you want a chilli plant that is a massive producer and tastes good too, this one is for you. The Klavo is from Italy and comes in red and peach colour and it’s not uncommon to get hundreds of them on the bush! They are sweet and juicy and taste a little like a Jalapeno with a bit more heat. The Klavo is a very good chilli for cooking in a stir fry or similar. It gets a ‘thumbs up’ from us!

Kraken
C. Chinense
1,000,000 SHU (aprox)The Kraken is here! And upon reflection, it would have been a good idea to run far away from it! This is definitely in the group of super hots that normal people shy away from. It’s a cross between Bhut Jolokia Assam and Trinidad Chocolate Scorpion and the pods grow extremely large. Like quite a few of the brown super hots, the taste is sort of earthy and smoky. The heat from this one is brutal and it’s a winner for a hot chilli sauce!
