The Charleston hot cayenne chilli was developed by the USDA at Clemson University in South Carolina. It produces thin fruit maturing from light green to orange in 72 days. As with most cayenne, the fruit are straight to slightly curved and 10-13cm (4-5in) long and 2cm (¾in) across. Plants are 46cm (18in) tall. A very hot, wild, miniature chili pepper usually harvested in the wild in the southwestern U.S.[1]
