The species name, pubescens, means hairy, which refers to the hairy leaves of this [[chili pepper]]. The hairiness of the leaves, along with the black seeds, distinguish this species from others. As they reach a relatively advanced age and the roots lignify quickly, sometimes they are called tree chili. It is reproductively isolated from other species of the genus Capsicum. A very notable feature of this species is its ability to withstand cooler temperatures than other cultivated pepper plants, but cannot withstand frost.<br /> <br /> A green variety found in [[Peru]] and [[Mexico]] is known as the manzano/ manzana or &#039;&#039;apple pepper&#039;&#039;. There is also a yellow variety is called canario or &quot;canary&quot; pepper.<br /> <br /> It is a very hot chili, registering 30,000 - 100,000 [[Scovilles]].<br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Condiments]]<br /> [[Category:Dips and sauces]]<br /> [[Category:Prepared foods]]<br /> [[Category:Spices]]<br /> [[Category:Store cupboard items]]<br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/scovilles|#scovilles]] [[Special:Search/dipsandsauces|#dipsandsauces]] [[Special:Search/chilipepper|#chilipepper]] [[Special:Search/peru|#peru]] [[Special:Search/preparedfoods|#preparedfoods]] [[Special:Search/spices|#spices]] [[Special:Search/condiments|#condiments]] [[Special:Search/mexico|#mexico]] [[Special:Search/storecupboarditems|#storecupboarditems]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
