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.

    After shopping around and evaluating different seed companies, I decided to order several different seeds from Tyler Farms and I am so glad that I did. My small package of seeds arrived within a week of when I ordered them and I am on my way towards creating an edible garden.

    My new favorite chili pepper

    Posted by peppergardner211 on 23rd Feb 2018

    I bought these last year and used them in everything from hot sauces to salsa to beer brewing! I made the mistake of not saving any seeds though, so now I'm back for another round (and picking up a few new types of pepper seeds as well). Kudos to Kirk for helping assist me with my grow and to Steve Bender for creating a wonderful new variety for the chili pepper community to enjoy. Cheers!

    these peppers reminded me a lot of peach reapers. they each have their own unique look like the carolinas, but theres something about peach peppers that i just love.

    GREAT pepper, grown from the best seeds of course! Every seed planted grew into a gorgeous plant with tons of peppers. I took some peppers down to Guadalajara, for family to try, and they LOVED them!! Best peppers ever!!

    Both are hot, not sure which is hotter, but the California Reaper tastes better with food.
