MA Daisy Cutter Yellow - 10 pcs seeds

Yellow Daisy Cutter (MA Daisy Cutter Yellow) is an extremely hot pepper of the Capsicum chinense species, bred by Matthew Arthur (M.A.), known for creating superhot varieties. The fruits have an unusual wrinkled, mushroom-like shape, ripen from green to yellow-orange and offer pleasant fruity and citrus notes. With an impressive 800 000–1 000 000 SHU, this variety is significantly hotter than Habanero.

Yellow Daisy Cutter (MA Daisy Cutter Yellow) is one of Matthew Arthur's successful selections. Its distinctly deeply wrinkled fruits resemble MA Wartryx in shape and rank among the exceptionally hot yellow peppers.

Despite its extreme heat, this variety is also valued for its flavour – especially its fruity-citrus nuances. Plants reach 90–120 cm, making them suitable for cultivation both in a greenhouse and in an appropriately warm outdoor location.
