Description

The listing, Trinidad "Butch" Pepper--Very Hot!--10 Seeds has ended.

The Trinidad scorpion 'Butch T' pepper is a Capsicum chinense cultivar that is among the most piquantpeppers. It is derived from the Trinidad scorpion, which is indigenous to Trinidad and Tobago.[1] It was named by Neil Smith from The Hippy Seed Company,[2] after he got the seeds originally from Butch Taylor, the owner of Zydeco Farms in Woodville/Crosby, Mississippi, and a hot sauce company, who is responsible forpropagating the pepper's seeds.[3] The "scorpion" peppers are referred to as such because the pointed end of the pepper is said to resemble a scorpion's stinger.

The Trinidad scorpion 'Butch T' pepper was, for three years, ranked as the most pungent ("hot") pepper in the world, according to Guinness World Records.[4][5] A laboratory test conducted in March 2011 measured a specimen at 1,463,700 Scoville heat units, officially ranking it the hottest pepper in the world at that time.[note 1]The secret to the heat, according to the creators,[citation needed] is fertilizing the soil with the liquid runoff of aworm farm.[6] In 2012, Guinness World Records recognized the Carolina Reaper as the hottest pepper in the world, at 1,569,300 SHU.[
