Carolina Cayenne

Similar in appearance to the original cayenne, this variety is twice as hot and appears slightly wider. Maturing to a deep red, the Carolina Cayenne has wrinkled, thin skin.It is native to Central and South America but was perfected and developed for growing by Clemson University in 1985. Most significantly, they found that it is resistant to root-knot nematode, a pest that can destroy certain plants and crops. Studies suggest it can be used as a rotation crop to reduce root-knot nematode, allowing another crop to be planted in that space following the Carolina Cayenne.
