7 Pot Bubblegum x Pimenta de Neyde

7 Pot Bubblegum x Pimenta de Neyde is a Capsicum chinense hybrid created by crossing 7 Pot Bubblegum with Pimenta de Neyde. The cross is commonly attributed to breeder Michael Pfentner from upstate New York, with online chilli forum posts referencing plants from this cross as early as 2015.

Pods are reported to mature to salmon or red, sometimes showing purple blush or darker markings influenced by Pimenta de Neyde genetics. Stems and calyx can display colour bleeding effects associated with Bubblegum lines. Pod shape may vary depending on generation and selection.

Heat is generally listed around 1200000 SHU by some seed sellers, placing it in the superhot range. This figure is based on vendor descriptions and grower reports rather than published independent laboratory testing. Actual heat may vary depending on growing conditions and plant selection.

Plants are described as vigorous and productive, with suitability for container growing reported by some growers. Early generation plants may show variation in pod colour, shape and other traits, suggesting the line may not be fully stabilised in all seed sources.

Breeder documentation beyond community reports is limited. Exact release year and formal breeding records are not clearly published in agricultural literature. SHU figures vary between sources and lack formal lab verification.
