White Bullet ®TM is an extremely hot white habanero variety from the Caribbean. The fruits are only 1" long and 1/2" wide and some say they are even hotter than either Red Savina or Chocolate Habanero. Very high yielding, a single plant may produce hundreds of fruits which turn an ivory-white when fully mature after approximately 100 days. Definitely worth trying, especially if you happen to enjoy the delightful sensation of having the back of your head blown off.
