    Why all ultra hot peppers look so wrinkled and deformed? Why can’t they look like ordinary peppers?

    He’s currently working on a hotter pepper too. They only sell the sauce right now, but I am hopeful they will sell the seeds eventually so I can try it. I’ve made some great hot sauce before with Carolina Reaper. I think it tastes great…but my sliding scale for hot peppers starts far higher than a normal person.

    I dub the Evel Ed [after Evel Knievel]. I have some seed left of the first batch of Carolina Reaper that you made available to the public [through Pepper Joe]. I even gave some to a local Mexican Restaurant that first year. And some to a Doctor who is with Visiting Physicians. [talking about that first year of harvest, not seeds]

    We need to try cross breeding other plants like eucalyptus or the yohimbe bark tree or mabye iboga and to see what the consequences would be once mankind has artificially intervened in the genetics
