MA Wartryx Pepper Seeds
from $7.75
Behold the MA Wartryx! From legendary chile grower, Matthew Arthur comes another wicked crossbreed between…well, no one really knows. Some say it was the result of an accidental cross between anywhere from 3-5 different chiles. We may never know why and how this was made, but we do know this is one HOT pepper.
Plants can grow as high as 4 ft. Tall and are incredibly bountiful. These peppers have a very rough and wrinkly texture compared to their brother the Wartryx but are otherwise similar in overall shape and size, ripening from green to orange-red.
The super-hot heat on the MA Wartryx is anywhere between 1,000,000-1,200,000 SHUs, making this a great variety for drying up into chili powder or adding (sparingly) to homemade hot sauce recipes. Besides the heat, you'll notice their sweet, fruity flavor with some hints of floral as well.
