Wartryx

Wartryx, often sold as MA Wartryx, is a super-hot Capsicum chinense hybrid attributed to US grower Matthew Arthur. It circulates mainly through seed companies and chilli enthusiast communities rather than formal horticultural publications.

Parentage descriptions vary between sources. Some listings state it involves Trinidad Scorpion, 7 Pot Jonah and Ubatuba Cambucci genetics, while others list slightly different combinations. There is no publicly archived breeder statement confirming a single authoritative lineage.

Pods are heavily wrinkled and bumpy, usually ripening from green to red. Fruit often show a rough surface texture and may develop a small tail or pointed tip. Plants are reported to reach approximately 90.0 cm in height under suitable growing conditions, though size varies by environment and seed line.

Heat is commonly reported between 1000000 and 1200000 SHU. A working value of 1000000 SHU reflects the central lower range most often cited. Some sellers claim higher values, but there are no widely published independent laboratory tests specific to this cultivar.

Flavour descriptions mention fruity and slightly floral notes before strong lingering heat develops. These flavour accounts are anecdotal and based on grower reports rather than formal sensory analysis.

There is no clearly documented first publication year or formal cultivar registration available in accessible records. Most information comes from seed listings and grower discussions rather than academic or agricultural documentation.
