The Peach Sugar Rush pepper was selectively bred by Chris Fowler, who finally stabilized the variety in 2012, 8 years after he first started the process. He had noted that the rosy color was associated with higher sugar levels and a strong citrus taste. He did succeed very well, as this pepper tastes very sweet with hints of apricot, peach and lemon before the spiciness comes in. Ranging from 50 000 to 100 000 on the Scoville scale, it ranks under Habanero peppers. Very productive and delicious (for hot pepper lovers!), it quickly became one of our favorites at the farm. Do not be surprised, the peach color does take a while before showing up. It will come towards the end of the season, or you might even need to make it ripen after harvesting it. Nothing stops you from eating it before though! Isolated in a greenhouse under a fine mesh net.   Package: Around 20 seeds
