Narrative
'Charleston Hot' has a short, erect plant habit. The plants are vigorous, uniformly branched, and reach a height of ~45 cm at Charleston, S.C. The foliage has a yellow-green color, as opposed to the green foliage color typical of 'Carolina Cayenne'. Typical 'Charleston Hot' fruits are straight to slightly curved, 2.2 cm in diameter at the base, and 9.6 cm in length. Like the foliage, the young fruits are yellowish-green. As the fruits mature, the color gradually changes to a golden yellow and then to a brilliant orange - colors atypical of cayenne-type peppers. Fully mature fruits are quite pungent (70,000 to 120,000 Scoville heat units), and exhibit a bright, deep red color that persists after drying. The calyx separates easily from the mature fruit. 'Charleston Hot' is highly resistant to the southern root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood].

Pedigree
Date released:
01 Oct 1992
Description:
'Charleston Hot' was derived from a heterogeneous 'Carolina Hot' population using a pure-line selection method. 'Charleston Hot' originated as a bulk of an S1 population derived from a single 'Carolina Hot' plant. 'Carolina Hot' is a cayenne-type pepper that was released in 1954 by Clemson University; it was originally described as having a spreading plant habit, red fruit, and resistance to root-knot nematodes. 'Charleston Hot' is homozygous for resistance to the southern root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood], and does not exhibit any obvious segregation for horticultural traits. 'Charleston Hot' is a "sister" line of 'Carolina Cayenne', a root-knot nematode resistant, large-vined, red-fruited cultivar derived via pure-line selection from the same 'Carolina Hot' population
