When you say you are interested in the seeds you mean you want to get them or just know more about them? I for one have never heard of Scorpion Seeds, what does it produce - plant, flower, fruit or vegetable?

I made a little research about it. In the US the only nursery that sells the plants (not seeds) is Valley View Farms in Cockeyville, MD. They don't ship plants either but I have no idea where you can get it in the UK. Can you handle such a hot pepper?

I am interested in actually trying to get seeds from Trinidad if possible. I hope I can handle the heat!

Hmmmm...I am not a Trinidadian but I do see hot peppers on supermarkets and local market, but I have no clue if they sell the seeds of this particular pepper. I will invite a couple of Trinis from the forum to come and post on this thread ok?

I'm not sure I can be of much help... I've never heard of Trinidad Scorpion pepper. Even the normal Trini 'bird pepper' plants, seem to grow best, wild. I think their seeds are spread by birds which eat, the drop the seeds (hence the local name). I'll ask around though, see if anyone I know that's a bit more into gardening, might know something useful.

I do know though, that there are a whole bunch of regulations for shipping seeds or plants from Trinidad, to the UK. Have you looked into how you're planning to transport them?

I was hoping they could just post seeds here, but I will do some research into shipping if somebody is willing to send them. I am interested in any hot chilli's from your country and I know trinidad scorpion and 7 pod are two from there.

this link seems to suggest posting is not a problem

just don't put a return address

I am obviously happy to pay postage via paypal or similar.

It is the dried seeds I would like or whole dried chilli pods.

Chilli Seeds Trinidad & Tobago / Caribbean

I doubt sending dried seeds or packaged seeds will be an issue (I believe it is live plants is the problem), however you should find out for your sake from the local mail office. I do recognize the peppers you are interested in, it is called "Bird Pepper" here and is quite hot. However, a variety can be sent.
