Pods are big and gnarly, ripening to a gold-mustard color.
These seeds can be tough to germinate but are worth it! Pods are big and gnarly, ripening to a gold-mustard color. They take a very long time to ripen, so start these plants early. Heat is less than a regular ghost pepper, but they taste much better. Non-Isolated.
