Originally developed by our head horticulturist Steve Bender, the California Reaper is a cross between the Carolina Reaper and Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion. Dr. Bender has spent numerous grow seasons developing the California Reaper. The pepper starts off light green and ripen to peach, with most pods resembling a peach colored Carolina Reaper. Although the California Reaper has not yet officially been tested, the Carolina Reaper pepper averages 1,569,300 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Similar to that of the Carolina Reaper, the taste of the California Reaper is described as fruity and sweet.

The California Reaper was one of the first peppers developed at Innovation Acre, which is a project at Tyler Farms that focuses on developing unique crosses of peppers. The project is led by head horticulturist Steve Bender.

    The real deal

    Posted by Jack Rammond on 17th Dec 2023

    Being a heat seeker, I've tried many hot peppers, but the California Reaper is in a league of its own. The seeds were easy to grow, and the peppers pack a punch. If you're looking for a thrilling spicy pepper, these seeds are the real deal.

    Cool variety

    Posted by A K P on 1st Feb 2022

    Just had my last harvest of these down in Key West and they are absolutely stunning. Beautiful looking peppers and actually surprisingly tasty if you can handle the heat. I would give 10 stars if I could. Hands down my new favorite pepper.
