Dorset Naga displays the typical characteristics of Capsicum chinense: slow germination; large, soft, slightly pale green leaves; multiple flowers per node; greenish petals; annular constriction; late maturing fruit; and fruity aroma of the fruit.

In addition, Dorset Naga displays its own varietal characteristics. The plants are robust, consistently growing to a height of 1.5m or more. They are bushy, producing many branches from the base.

The fruit start green, and ripen to a red colour. They are wedge-shaped, with three locules and often a nipple at the end. Although some can be quite small, the fruit are generally 4-5 cm long and 3-4 cm wide at the shoulders. Larger fruit can be up to 6 cm long. The skin is finely wrinkled, and the flesh is thin.

The most significant feature of Dorset Naga is the pungency of the fruit. The heat level has been measured at 970,000 and 876,000 Scoville Heat Units at two laboratories in the USA, making Dorset Naga a contender for the title of ‘hottest chilli in the world’.
