Guinness World Record holder for the hottest chilli from 1994 until 2006, and still ferociously hot by any sane measure. Behind the burn there is a genuine habanero fruitiness worth having.
Needs the earliest possible sowing and a full season under cover to ripen in Britain. Not a beginner chilli, and handled with gloves.
