Jay’s Purple Ghost Scorpion pepper was created by crossing Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion and the Pink Tiger Ghost pepper. The peppers start off purple but eventually ripen to a purplish peach color. Jay's Purple Ghost Scorpion is a cross that was developed at Innovation Acre but the name pays homage to Jay Weaver, a pepper grower who created Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion.
Jay's Purple Ghost Scorpion grows into various shapes, with some having tails like a Trinidad Scorpion. The peach skin is thin and bumpy like a Ghost pepper. The heat level is extremely hot with a fruity flavor, similar to that of the Ghost pepper. Although it has not officially been tested yet, Jay's Purple Ghost Scorpion pepper likely averages over 800,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
