Pepper, Mini Dragon Tail

Another hot pepper variety in development by a specialty breeder in North Carolina. The fruit is typically a few inches long with a pointed, crooked shape, beginning dark purple and develop striking purple and peach stripes as they ripen. Heat levels vary with the unstabilized genetics; most matching the intense heat of a Scotch Bonnet, while others can reach scorching Ghost pepper levels.
