These tiny, bullet-shaped chilies are extremely fiery and look decorative pointing up from the bushy plants, which reach no more than 8 in (20 cm) tall. Plants crop heavily. Also known as bird-pepper or chillipiquin, this is a branched perennial herb with a woody stem at its base. This pungent variety of hot peppers is usually small and red when ripe and has high capsaicin content. Hot weather conditions produce hotter peppers.
