🔥 About Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion
Developed by Pennsylvanian grower Jay Weaver, the Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion is a fiery cross between a Ghost Pepper and a Trinidad Scorpion. This rare hybrid features the intense burn of a Scorpion pepper combined with the sweetness and color of a peach-toned Ghost.
This variety is prized among collectors and chili-heads for its unique color, shape, and heat profile. Find everything you need to get started today in our Seed Starting Supplies Collection
🌿 Plant Characteristics
Plants grow up to 3 feet tall, producing high yields of 2–3" pods that ripen from green to pinkish-orange before turning brilliant peach.
The pods are gnarly, twisted, and bumpy, often forming a small tail reminiscent of the Scorpion pepper.
Note: This variety is genetically unstable. Pod color and shape may vary between plants—part of the thrill of growing this rare hybrid!
🌶️ Heat & Flavor
With heat levels around 900,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion is extremely hot, though slightly milder than a traditional Ghost Pepper.
Expect an immediate, climbing burn that travels from the back of your throat up to your sinuses. Beneath the heat, you’ll notice bright, fruity flavor notes that shine in sauces and salsas.
Best uses include:
-
Fermented and fresh hot sauces
-
Spicy marinades and rubs
-
Drying or smoking for long-term storage
⚠️ Growing Note on Instability
This hybrid is still unstable, meaning you may see some pods ripen red or form unique shapes. Each plant expresses its genetics differently, adding surprise and variety to every harvest.
Please note: variations in color or shape are expected and not eligible for replacement.
