The Bubblegum 7 pod was created by a Jon Harper from the UK. Also known as Bleeding Bubblegum or BBG7, this pepper is a cross between the Trinidad Morouga Scorpion and Yellow 7-pod pepper. Jon named it Bubblegum because he thought it tasted like Bubbaliscious Bubblegum.
The thick oversized calyx turns red "bleeding" when peppers are left on the plants for an extended period of time. The 7 Pot Bubblegum pepper is not yet completely stable, so the appearance of the cultivated peppers may differ, like a smooth instead of wrinkled skin.
