That chillo is doing extremely well jeez! I’d never really heard of them. Looks like they pack a bit of punch too.
E. ohh rocoto
Yeah apparently there’s some slight difference between rocoto and manzano (variability of spiciness? Rocoto grows further south?) But both are Capsicum pubescens (heh I said pubes). this one said manzano on the label which also rates it a 4/10 for spiciness, but I haven’t tried any yet so we’ll find out soon I guess.
Rocoto grows to 2 metres and has yellow fruit, manzano grows to 1 metre and has red fruit. Both have lovely purple flowers and big black seeds. I think the rocoto is hotter. They are both good to grow.
Ooh then I’m pretty sure mine is Manzano. Doesn’t seem as tall as my friend’s plants that they’ve said are Rocoto. I have a scotch bonnet and a medium sized Thai chilli that are both very hot so I actually hope this will be mild and sweet
