7 Pot Orange

7 Pot Orange is a superhot orange-ripening member of the Trinidad 7 Pot group. Live seller descriptions place it within Capsicum chinense and describe it as a compact but productive plant carrying medium-sized wrinkled pods that ripen from green to orange. One current source gives pods at about 5.0 cm long and plants at about 90 cm tall, while another describes the plant more generally as compact with a strong harvest.

The flavour profile is one of the more consistent aspects reported online. Multiple live listings describe it as fruity, sometimes slightly sweet, and well suited for making powder once the heat is managed. Older grower discussions echo that emphasis on flavour in addition to intensity.

Heat reporting varies but stays within the established superhot range. Some sources cite 800 000–1 200 000 SHU, while others list 1 400 000+ SHU for orange/yellow-fruiting lines under this name. The single-number entry of 1 400 000 SHU reflects the upper repeated commercial figure, though live evidence suggests the pepper is broadly treated as roughly a 1.0–1.4 million SHU type rather than a universally lab-confirmed value.

Naming is slightly inconsistent in circulation. Some sellers use “7 Pot Orange,” while others list “7 Pot Orange-Yellow” or “7-Pot Orange/Yellow” for what appears to be the same or very closely related orange-fruiting line. This likely reflects parallel naming for an orange/yellow phenotype rather than a clearly distinct cultivar, but the overlap is visible in commercial listings.

By 2014–2015, 7 Pot Orange was already being discussed in grower forums as a recognised 7 Pot type valued for both flavour and extreme heat, indicating it was established in hobby superhot circles by that period.
