Peach Moruga

Peach Moruga is a peach-coloured Moruga line linked to Florida breeder Tony Sherwood, also known as Pepper T, with Kevin Bane credited in breeder-linked seed listings for producing seed of this newer version from Moruga Scorpion Red stock. It is circulated as a named peach variant of Moruga Scorpion and is described as a cross-derived line rather than an old landrace or heirloom type.

The plant is described as vigorous and productive, reaching about 80 cm in pots and growing taller in the ground. Pods begin light green and ripen to peach, with some live catalogue material describing the mature colour as peach to peach-pink. Pod shape is rounded and wrinkled with Moruga-like ends, and one live catalogue snippet lists fruit at about 5.0 to 10.0 cm long.

Flavour descriptions consistently point to a fruity, lighter version of the classic Moruga profile. Seller descriptions describe it as rich like the original Moruga but more fruity and light, while other live listings describe floral notes and strong heat. That combination of peach colour, fruity flavour and Moruga-style burn is the main identity attached to this pepper in live circulation.

The live source record carries a real origin conflict around the name. Retail pages commonly market Peach Moruga Scorpion as a Trinidad pepper and tie it directly to the Moruga region, while breeder-linked listings trace the peach line itself to Tony Sherwood’s work in Florida from Moruga Scorpion Red background. The name therefore carries both the Trinidad Moruga base and a later United States-developed peach selection history.

Heat figures also vary in live circulation. Some listings place it around 800000 to 1300000 SHU, while others describe it simply as well over 1 million SHU. It is consistently treated as a superhot Moruga-type pepper.
