This newer cross has extremely hot pods. Plants may not be stable seeing how new this variety, as all our plants were uniformed with only slit pods and shape differences. Pods are longer than Reaper pods and we have only seen a couple of pods with stingers. Pods have excellent aroma. We can’t wait to try the powder. We're sure it going to be good. We’ll update powder info later.
