🌶️ Reaper White – An ivory-white beauty with a devilish tail!

The Reaper White is an impressive super hot from the Capsicum chinense-family. This special light-colored Reaper variant combines an exceptional appearance with extreme spiciness.

The fruits are irregularly shaped, have a wrinkled shell with deep folds and often develop a distinctive, long and sharp point, the so-called stinger. This characteristic extension gives the pepper its threatening, almost alien appearance.

During ripening, the fruits change from green to a beautiful shade of light yellow. cream to ivory-white end color. Only when they are fully mature does their characteristic light color come into its full glory.

The fruit production should also be considered. During our own cultivation in 2026, the plants produced several large fruits, often simultaneously on the same plant.

A real eye-catcher for enthusiasts and collectors of special superhots!
