The Peach Trinidad Scorpion (Peach Moruga), to give it it’s proper name hails from the Caribbean and it produces a ferocious heat of between 800,000 and 1,300,000 SHU’s. We must stress that the heat level depends on many factors and though this chilli that you grow at home will still be exceedingly hot it may not achieve the heat levels mentioned above.

However, it will have a similar sweet, fruity flavour to the Moruga Scorpion and the Carolina Reaper. That is of course if you have any taste buds left after sampling this rather lovely looking chilli.

This chilli is a colour variation from the Red Moruga chilli - with it's amazing colour, big pods with strong aroma and heat it is a rather new addition to the Moruga family, and as such it is not regarded as quite stable yet so you may well find certain colour variations on some pods, but it is definitely a great chilli to have in your collection. The Peach Moruga is slightly more citrusy than the sweet red version. A rare one to have and a great talking point!

A new member to the Trinidad Scorpion pepper family, the Peach Trinidad Scorpion pepper's name comes from the pointed end of the pepper that is said to resemble a scorpion's stinger. When fully mature, the peppers grow are about one to two inches in length with smooth, thin skin. Most Peach Trinidad Scorpion peppers have a distinct point, a stinger, that give them an unique, dangerous appearance. The Peach Trinidad Scorpion pepper was created by crossing the Red Trinidad Scorpion and the Peach Habanero.

As you can see in the photo, the mature fruit are quite yellow and not at all a peach colour but that's what you get when a strain is still unstable. What to do? Well, the only difference we can find is in the colour so I can use a few of it's seeds to grow more of the same next season and most probably get the same result as this year or buy again from growers who have been lucky enough to get the correct coloured fruit 1st time.
