The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T is one pepper not to be taken lightly. Although lower on the top 10 it once held the official title of The Worlds Hottest Pepper from March 3rd, 2011 until August 7, 2013 when the Carolina Reaper took the title. This formidable pepper was discovered by Butch Taylor in his patch of Trinidad Scorpion peppers.
It looked different from the other peppers and decided to taste it, this is when he knew he had something special. It’s unique shape differentiated it from the rest of the peppers with it’s pointy tail. After a few generations of isolation he submitted it to Guinness World Records and it blew the previous record out of the water.
The Butch T’s heat can be described as swallowing a burning coal that keeps getting hotter and hotter. It’s the unrelenting heat that makes this pepper so scorching hot. What’s really great about growing this pepper plant is that it produces bountiful crops, reaching over 3′ tall.
yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
