Produces good amount of peppers, larger than the original Thai peppers since it's a hybrid. Heat wise I would rate the smaller Thai(non-hybrid) a tad hotter and it keeps it's heat longer. Flavor wise the Super Thai takes a nod. I use the green Super Thai before it turns red for stir fry. Super flavor and just the right amount of heat for my taste.

About a 2' plant, sort of determinate for me, as it flowers and produces a huge number initially, then flowers some more, once harvest begins . Great tasting pepper, fresh or dried red. One of the first to ripen every season for me. Only problem for me is it's susceptability to pepper maggots. I dry most of mine, to use in a condiment which calls for caramelizing them with garlic and shallots, as the flavor is one of the best of all the peppers I have sampled.
