Bhut Jolokia Peach WM

Bhut Jolokia Peach WM is a modern peach ghost selection circulating mainly in the superhot collector scene rather than as a long-established regional pepper. The strongest live source trail says the strain was selected and improved by Michael H., also known as Wicked Mike, and grower discussions were already referring to Mike’s Peach Bhuts by May 2015.

Current exact-name seller descriptions are fairly consistent about the plant itself. It is described as a highly productive Bhut-type plant with wrinkled, often gnarly pendant pods that ripen from green through pale pink into a peach-orange colour. One seller places plants around 80 to 120 cm tall and describes them as heavy yielding. Grower notes from around 2016 also mention that strong plants can produce hundreds of pods, with some reports suggesting thicker-walled, meatier fruit than typical red Bhut Jolokia types.

Flavour descriptions are also fairly consistent. Sources commonly describe fruity sweetness and noticeably reduced bitterness compared with standard peach Bhut lines, paired with very strong heat. In practical use, the line is usually associated with hot sauces, drying, powders, and extreme-heat growing rather than any specific traditional cuisine.

Two things do not line up perfectly online. Heat figures vary widely, with sources placing it roughly between 800,000 SHU and well over 1,000,000 SHU. One listing gives 920,000 SHU specifically, while others push it closer to 1,200,000 SHU. The meaning of the initials WM is also inconsistent. Several grower and seller sources clearly treat WM as Wicked Mike, but one seller instead claims it refers to Wilson Moore. The stronger grower history still points to Wicked Mike, but the initials themselves have picked up conflicting explanations in the seed trade.
