Habanero Apple Orange is a Capsicum chinense variety grown for its distinctive apple-shaped pods and strong heat. It is cultivated primarily for culinary use, where both flavour and pungency are key characteristics.
Pods are rounded to slightly flattened, resembling a small apple in shape. Fruits ripen from green to bright orange when fully mature. Pod walls are moderately thin, making them suitable for fresh use, sauces, and blending.
Flavour is fruity and aromatic, typical of chinense chillies, followed quickly by a strong, lingering heat. Heat is classed as Very Hot, commonly associated with habanero-type chillies. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this specific variety.
Plants are bushy and moderately compact, generally reaching 70–100 cm in height. They require warm temperatures and a long growing season to produce well-shaped pods and full heat development, performing best in greenhouses or sheltered outdoor positions.
The detailed breeding background of Habanero Apple Orange is not formally documented. It is recognised as a habanero-type chilli selected for pod shape, colour, and classic chinense heat and flavour.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
