They're the size of a holly berry. We had a small bush near our front door. We had a wild toddler. I told my husband to tear it down. He didn't listen. Kid landed in the ER.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum_annuum_var._glabriusculum
The tiny chili peppers of C. a. var. glabriusculum are red to orange-red, usually slightly ellipsoidal, and about 0.8 cm (1⁄3 in) in diameter.[7] Some strains of tepin peppers are much closer to perfectly round when fresh. A dried tepin pepper appears quite round even if it was slightly ellipsoidal when fresh. Tepin peppers are very hot, in Scoville Heat Units (SHU) measuring between 465,000–1,629,000, or 325,000–2,469,000 depending on the capsaicinoid ⇨ SHU conversion method.[3]
The tepin can be hotter than the habanero or red savina, with the highest levels seen in green fruit 40-50 days after fruit set.[3]
