OK, here is the first one showing a close up of a Naga King chili. The fruit body of this particular chili measures about 8 centimeters which comes out to about 3 1/4 inches. That's a nice big pepper in anybodies book!
I've grown a lot of Habañeros in my time and these chilies look a lot like Caribbean Red Habañeros or Red Savino Habañeros.
Although I have some of those chilies pictured on the main page, they are not an exact representation of the typical chilies. I chose some nice plump shapely examples to display.
Though they share the curvy shape displayed on the left, missing is the lanky appearance of some of these chilies as well as the very rough and bumpy looking texture of the Naga King chili... and of course the tongue torturing heat!
This is truly a unique looking chili!

To the right is a picture of a cluster of Naga King chilies. After growing many varieties of Habañeros for years I've never seen them grow in such dense clusters as these Naga Kings. This is very impressive and I can definitely see why this is called the high yield variety!
Marinus Ngullie - "According to my research data it is called the High Yielding variety because it yields more than 220 fruits per plant, whereas regular Naga chillies yield only 120 fruits per plant. The High Yielding variety is also resistant to many diseases."
