Carolina Ruby Bomb

Carolina Ruby Bomb

The Carolina Ruby Bomb is a highly productive cherry-type pepper developed from a Cherry Bomb cross, selected for its exceptional yields, thick walls, and outstanding flavor. Producing large numbers of glossy, ruby-red fruits with a unique heart-shaped appearance, this variety offers the perfect balance of sweetness and mild heat. Its thick, juicy flesh makes it an excellent choice for fresh eating, stuffing, pickling, grilling, roasting, and adding vibrant color to salsas and salads.

With a heat level comparable to a traditional Cherry Bomb, typically ranging from 2,500–5,000 Scoville Heat Units, Carolina Ruby Bomb delivers a pleasant kick without overwhelming heat. The vigorous plants are dependable producers throughout the growing season, making them an excellent choice for both home gardeners and market growers seeking a beautiful, versatile pepper with excellent yields.

As this variety is a cross of a Cherry Bomb cross, some natural variation may still occur. While most plants produce the characteristic thick-walled, ruby-red, heart-shaped fruits, occasional plants may vary slightly in fruit shape, size, or heat level. These minor variations are expected in developing varieties and add to the uniqueness of this exciting pepper.
