So hot, it has be used in food, as “fence" to keep mammal pest away and as weapon in the military use.  Handle plant with care, use rubber gloves!!   Use only small quantity!!   It is tender perennial.  Easy to grow though.  Best growing in full sun to partial shade location.  Mature size:4′-6′(H)/(W).   Propagate by seeds or cuttings.  If you live in colder climate, you can treat it as annual or cut back the plant and over winter indoors.  Even though no mammal and no bugs will near it, the fruit though some birds will still come to get them.  Bird receptor cells are largely insensitive to capsaicin.  Some bird foods have hot peppers in them, birds do not feel the heat from chili pepper at all.

超級辣,辣到可用於食物料理,生物籬笆驅逐哺乳類動物及作為軍事用的武器.  要戴手套小心勿直接與皮膚接觸到!!  使用於食物需要用很少很少的量!!  它是不耐寒的多年生植物.  還蠻容易栽種的.  最好栽種在全日照到半日照處.  成熟株高/寬幅可達:4-6呎.  可以種子或扦插枝條來繁殖.  若是居住在溫帶較冷的地方可以將植株強剪後室內過冬.  雖然哺乳類動物對辣椒素很敏感.   鳥類因受體細胞無法感知辣椒素的關係,有的鳥類甚至於偏愛食用攙有辣椒的飼料.
