Awesome chilli and definitely my favourite! Bit hotter than a regular home grown Habanero with increased flavour. The plant is fairly sturdy and really loads up with fruit and looks fantastic. Almost a shame to pick them, well… not really. I made jam from these and Jalapeno Argiset 4109 and I gotta say… pretty bloody good!
