Giant Yellow Cardi Scorpion

Giant Yellow Cardi Scorpion is a Capsicum chinense super-hot selection associated with Trinidad Scorpion CARDI-type genetics. It is described as a larger yellow-fruited form derived from Trinidad Scorpion lines traditionally linked to Trinidad and Tobago.

Pods are reported to be larger than standard CARDI Scorpion fruit, typically about 6.0 to 8.0 cm long and approximately 4.0 to 5.0 cm wide. Fruit ripen from green to bright yellow. The surface is heavily wrinkled and may show a pointed or slight tail typical of scorpion-type peppers.

Heat is commonly reported between 800000 and 1200000 SHU. A working value of 1000000 SHU reflects a central estimate within that range. There are no widely published independent laboratory tests specific to this named selection, and reported figures come from seed sellers and grower sources.

Flavour descriptions mention sweet and fruity characteristics beneath intense heat, though these accounts are anecdotal rather than based on formal sensory analysis.

There is no clearly documented breeder release statement, official CARDI registration for a yellow line, or verified first publication year in accessible horticultural literature. Some community sources question whether stable yellow CARDI genetics formally exist, suggesting that many yellow forms may represent later selections or hybrid variations rather than original red CARDI stock. Available information comes primarily from seed catalogues and enthusiast discussions rather than academic records.
