Jabba The Hutt

Jabba The Hutt is a Capsicum chinense hybrid circulating mainly through chilli enthusiast seed communities. The name appears in multiple spellings including “Jabba De Hut” and “Jabba da Hutt,” indicating informal distribution rather than a formally registered cultivar.

It is commonly described as a cross between Fatalii and a Scorpion-type pepper. Bright yellow pods are reported at maturity, often with elongated tips or small tails. Plants are described as vigorous and productive, though exact height measurements are not consistently documented.

Heat is generally estimated between 600000 and 800000 SHU. A working figure of 700000 SHU reflects the central range most often cited by sellers. There are no widely published independent laboratory tests specific to this named variety, and reported figures come from seed listings and grower estimates.

Grower reports mention some variation in pod shape and heat between plants, suggesting genetic variability between seed lines. There is no publicly documented breeder statement, origin country, or first recorded publication year available in accessible sources.

Most available information comes from commercial seed listings and social media grower posts rather than academic horticultural literature, and detailed lineage documentation is not publicly archived.
