What makes it special?
Trinidad Scorpion Peach combines typical superhot heat with an unusually pale ripening colour. Rather than the classic red, the heavily wrinkled fruit turns warm peach to cream-orange tones at full ripeness.
With its superhot heat, it's a clear heat 10+++ variety. Beneath the massive heat is a fruity, aromatic Capsicum chinense note at the same time – an exciting scorpion variant for experienced chilli fans.
Flavour & Use
Trinidad Scorpion Peach has a fruity, lightly sweet aroma accompanied by extreme heat.
The tiniest amounts are enough for chilli sauces, ferments, spice pastes, chilli oil or powder.
Fruit & Plant
The fruit is heavily wrinkled, irregular and often has a pointed or sting-like tip. At full ripeness, it changes from green to peach or pale orange.
The plant grows vigorously and bushy and can reach around 70–120 cm depending on growing conditions. Full ripening requires plenty of warmth and a long season.
Growing & Care
Like other scorpion and superhot varieties, Trinidad Scorpion Peach needs a full-sun, very warm and sheltered spot. A greenhouse or polytunnel is especially recommended in our climate.
In a pot, use at least 8 litres, ideally 10 litres. 15–20 litres is ideal if you have enough space. Keep evenly moist, avoid waterlogging, and feed regularly with a suitable tomato or vegetable fertiliser.

Trinidad Scorpion Peach – a peach-coloured superhot with fruity aroma
The Trinidad Scorpion Peach is an extraordinary pale variant from the Trinidad Scorpion world. Instead of the familiar red ripening colour, it develops peach to pale orange fruit. Its heavily wrinkled surface still instantly reveals its closeness to classic scorpion superhots. Botanically, it belongs to Capsicum chinense.
How hot is Trinidad Scorpion Peach?
Trinidad Scorpion Peach reaches around 800,000 to 1,200,000 Scoville. That places it clearly in the superhot range.
With this Scoville range, it's a clear heat 10+++ variety. Even the tiniest amounts can therefore be enough to give spice pastes, ferments or chilli oil extreme heat. How Scoville figures come about and where other varieties sit is shown in our guide to the Scoville scale.
Trinidad Scorpion Peach or Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Peach?
Both the name Trinidad Scorpion Peach and Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Peach appear among seed suppliers. Our plant is the Trinidad Scorpion Peach with peach to pale orange fruit and around 800,000–1,200,000 Scoville.
Peach or classic red?
If you're after the classic red type, we also carry Trinidad Scorpion Moruga. Another well-known alternative is the Carolina Reaper, the former Guinness World Record holder.
Fruit, growth and ripening time
The heavily wrinkled, irregular fruit grows around 4–6 cm and often ends in a pointed, sting-like tip. It ripens from green to peach or pale orange. The plant grows vigorous, bushy and well branched and reaches around 70–120 cm. As a late-ripening variety, it needs around 90–120 days under warm conditions; a greenhouse or polytunnel is especially recommended in our climate. In a pot, use at least 8 litres, ideally 10 litres; 15–20 litres is ideal. The plant can be overwintered frost-free – how that works is shown in our guide to overwintering chillies.
An extraordinary superhot for collectors
Trinidad Scorpion Peach is especially interesting if you want to combine extreme heat with an unusual fruit colour. Among red Reapers, Bhut Jolokia and classic Scorpions, the pale peach-coloured fruit sets a clearly different accent.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
