5,000-15,000 SHU. Trepadeira Werner is a Brazilian chili, delivering a berry-like sweetness with a pleasantly tangy finish. The cherry-sized, thick-walled pods start creamy white, then blush yellow and orange before ripening to glossy red, making the plant as ornamental as it is useful. Bushy plants usually reach about 3 to 5 feet tall, and in ideal conditions, they can grow even larger, so plan on staking as branches load up with fruit. Expect a later-season harvest, often around 90 to 100 days from transplant, with a flavor that shines fresh but really excels when pickled, fermented, or simmered into bright hot sauce.
