The Thunder Mountain Longhorn is instantly recognizable by its narrow, slender, elongated fruits. Generally red when fully ripe, they can grow 20 to 30 cm long, sometimes longer depending on growing conditions and the strain cultivated. They may be straight, curved, or twisted, giving the plant a striking appearance.
Its thin flesh makes the fruits easy to dry, making this variety a good choice for preparing dried chilies, chili flakes, or homemade chili powder.
The Thunder Mountain Longhorn has moderate to strong heat, with fruity, vegetal, and slightly sweet notes. Its heat is sometimes estimated at 20,000 to 40,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), though it may vary by plant and growing conditions.
