BOC x 7 Pot Primo

BOC x 7 Pot Primo (often posted as Orange Primo x BOC) is a superhot Capsicum chinense hybrid combining Bhut Orange Copenhagen (BOC) with an orange Primo line. The cross first appeared publicly in a grower thread dated 25 June 2015, where the creator noted that the pods were expected to ripen orange but also acknowledged that first-generation genetics could still produce variation.

Seed seller descriptions present the plants as medium to large, capable of reaching roughly 91.5 cm or more in height, with strong productivity under favourable conditions. Pods are commonly described as ripening to peach or orange tones and producing heavy yields.

One commercial listing describes the pods as peach-coloured with distinctive shape and places the heat at 1,000,000+ SHU. Because the figure appears in seller descriptions rather than laboratory testing, 1,000,000 SHU is used here as a baseline estimate.

A closely related listing under the name “BOC x 7-Pot Primo Orange Dark” describes what appears to be the same parent cross but with darker orange fruit, heavy surface bumpiness, and a pronounced scorpion-style tail. That selection is sometimes listed with heat claims around 1,500,000 SHU, suggesting that different phenotype selections of the same cross are circulating with different heat estimates.

Descriptions for the darker selection also mention a noticeable sweetness in the pods, strong aroma, and good suitability for drying into powder, though sellers warn the powder can clump due to the oil content typical of superhot peppers.
