BJs have quite similar growth habit to SBs and other habanero types. Mine never got real big like Scorpions, but were respectably large bushes. They have that relatively unique elongated leaf, where most habs have a stockier leaf with undulations. Growth rates are similar.
Thank, DMF,
I was hoping that you will come along and clarify.

Well, OK. SB is in Habanero class. Not SUPER hot but hot around 300k SHU.
I have grown orange, red and choc. habs. But the ones I sowed this year did not germinate for me. No worry. SB BJs are hot enough for me.

Now maybe Worth can find out what he's got Bhut or not .
