Rimerez Stinger (Ramirez Stinger)

Ramirez Stinger is a super-hot Capsicum chinense hybrid credited to grower Mario Ramirez. It is widely described as a Carolina Reaper × Red 7 Pot cross, though some listings and pod review references include an additional unspecified background influence (sometimes written as Reaper × 7 Pot Red × ?), indicating minor uncertainty in its full lineage.

The variety is known for heavy productivity and distinctive ripe pod colour. Mature fruit are commonly described as finishing in a reddish caramel or caramel-brown tone rather than the bright red typical of many super-hot types.

Heat claims vary between sources. Many seller listings place it in the range of approximately 1 200 000–1 500 000 Scoville Heat Units, with 1 500 000 SHU frequently used as the headline figure. These values are based on vendor and grower reports rather than independently published laboratory testing.

Seed seller grow notes commonly list germination in approximately 7–14 days and harvest around 100–120 days after transplant under favourable conditions. As a hybrid, phenotype expression, pod shape, and heat intensity may vary slightly between seed lines.

There is no formal academic publication or registry documentation for this hybrid; available information originates primarily from seed suppliers and chilli enthusiast communities.
