This very hot pepper was created by Khang Starr and is a cross between an MOA Scotch Bonnet with a Bahamian Goat pepper. Khang crossed these varieties over a period of 4 years by meticulously selecting the pods for the size, color, and shape that he wanted. Once the cross was successful, Khang grew the plants indoors, hydroponically so he could speed up the stabilization process. The flavor of this is described as slightly sweet with a citrus flavor and the heat level is similar to a Bahamian Goat pepper (100,000-300,000 SHU). The pods are shaped like UFOs and they ripen to a beautiful golden color.
Planting/Harvesting Notes
- Plant after all danger of frost has passed
- Plant in full sun and well draining soil
- Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart
Seed Saving
To save seed, allow the pepper to turn red on the plant, then harvest, cut the pepper, scrape out the seeds and dry on a flat surface such as a screen, paper plate or baking sheet. Allow to dry for 1-2 weeks and then store in a paper envelope.
