About this pepper

The 7 Pot Bubblegum Frankenstein is a super-hot Capsicum chinense hybrid developed by breeder John Ford in the United States. This cultivar combines the 7 Pot Bubblegum, known for its bleeding calyx trait, with other super-hot peppers including the Carolina Reaper and Jay's Chocolate Ghost Scorpion.

The pods are elongated and display a bleeding calyx, where pigmentation from the fruit extends into the calyx and sometimes the stem. Depending on the specific cross, pods mature to deep red or chocolate-brown hues. The flavour profile is described as fruity, while the heat level reaches approximately 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units.

This pepper is part of a broader group of hybrids that aim to merge the bleeding calyx characteristic of the 7 Pot Bubblegum with other extreme-heat cultivars, resulting in visually distinctive and intensely hot fruits.
