Origin & history
An English three-way cross by Gerald Fowler, briefly the Guinness record holder in 2011. Its instability is part of its record: seed does not reliably come true, which is why it never became a commercial line.

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.
