110 days. One of the hottest habanero varieties. It grows like a traditional habanero but is more productive, has more uniform fruit size and shape, and is hotter. Not for the faint of heart.

Originating from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Ripening to a rich, orangey red, this one-and-a-half-inch-long, scorchingly hot pepper (it's twice as hot as many of its notoriously pungent C. sinense cousins) can be identified by its distinctive, pointy tip
