Butch "T" Trinidad Scorpion Seeds

🌶️ Butch T Trinidad Scorpion Pepper Seeds – Former World’s Hottest Pepper (1,000,000+ SHU)

Meet the legendary Butch T Trinidad Scorpion, the pepper that shocked the world in 2011 when it claimed the title of World’s Hottest Pepper in the Guinness Book of World Records. This rare, highly sought-after Trinidad Scorpion strain is known for its blistering heat, fierce stinger tail, and surprisingly sweet, fruity flavor once the fire settles.

Plants reach about 3 feet tall and are heavy producers once established. Although the Butch T is a notoriously finicky germinator, patient growers are rewarded with vigorous plants that deliver outstanding yields of 2-inch wrinkled pods, each showcasing the iconic Scorpion “stinger.” Fruits ripen from green to bold red and can range from slightly shiny to deeply wrinkled, both natural for this strain. You may experience more elongated pods, as this strain is still unstable. Start your Butch T seeds strong with our Seed Starting Gear, including heat mats and controlled-humidity domes especially helpful for finicky chinense varieties.

With heat levels frequently passing the 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Unit mark, this pepper delivers an intense punch similar to the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and Carolina Reaper, but with its own signature fruity, floral flavor profile. If you’re a collector, sauce maker, or thrill-seeking grower, the Butch T is an essential addition to your super-hot collection.
