About this pepper

Carolina Reaper Yellow x Habanero Yellow is a named superhot hybrid circulated online through an Australian seller as a cross chilli built from yellow chinense parentage. The public listing presents it as an Australian-origin line and markets it as one of the world's hottest chillies.

The public description presents a strong plant reaching about 1 m in height and producing quite large, thick-skinned, crunchy pods with a very fruity flavour and intense heat. The overall profile fits a yellow superhot chinense type, combining the heavy heat reputation of Carolina Reaper Yellow with the fruity yellow-habanero side of the cross.

Its core identity is that of a modern yellow-fruited superhot hybrid rather than a traditional heirloom or landrace. The name itself defines the cross, and the available public description centres on vigorous growth, sizeable thick-walled pods, fruity flavour, and extreme pungency.
