Grey captions say what stands behind that particular figure. Breeding, growth habit and fruit characters carry no caption because they rest on the record's sources as a whole rather than citing their own; closing that gap is ordinary outstanding work, not a finished job.

Origin & history

A hotter New Mexico pod type whose name means 'fire', grown where the mild processing cultivars are considered too tame for local eating.

Against the rest of the pepper database

Where this variety sits among every pepper we hold a comparable figure for. Position is not merit: earlier is not better than later, and hotter is not better than milder. Only cultivar-level figures are compared, never trial results, and maturity is only ranked against figures counted the same way.

Days to maturity 75-90 days · ranked at its midpoint, 82.5
55 median 82.5 155

earlier than 54% of the 252 peppers we hold a figure for. None of these figures state whether they are counted from sowing or from transplant, so they are ranked against each other on the assumption that suppliers use one convention, which is not something any of them says.

Scoville heat 5000-8000 SHU · ranked at its midpoint, 6,500
0 median 5,000 1,900,000

hotter than 53% of the 249 peppers we hold a figure for.

Traits

Disease resistance

No documented disease resistance, typical of heirlooms and older open-pollinated varieties. See pepper diseases for the cultural playbook that fills the gap.
