Here's another extremely hot pepper breeders mix from Kevin Bane of Cooley Springs, South Carolina. This one is the F2 generation of a cross between 'Biquinho White' and 'Purple Pinger'. It's a highly unstable population, so will produce all sorts of fun stuff (most all of it extremely hot!). Kevin says this has yielded some really tall plants, and really productive too. Grows more chilis than leaves. Selected plants had purple fruit ripening to a peachy white, streaked with purple. These plants had dark purple-shaded leaves too.
