Finally ripening




The bottoms of these peppers have deep indentations. The one above-still on the plant, having the deepest

Decent sized rocoto you have! Rocotos are my favorite, juicy and hot.

Very nice pods, compered to the Locato (PI 387838) I grew this year there is quite a big diffrence :D

Still, nice looking pods you have there. None of the others I grew approached the size of the giants. These were the smallest

Rocoto Longo

Yes, even the Rocotos comes in many shapes.

These I picked in a nearby commercial greenhouse, when I got home I filled them with meat and cheese and made a nice meal, just one drawback it was hot as hell!!!


Rocoto Orange, Rocoto Red & Rocoto Yellow

Very nice. I assume you saved the seeds.

I allways save the seeds :D

Another fair sized pubescens just ripening. Again-only 3 pods on this plant this first year

Rocoto Peru Cuosco

I am "overwintering" 4 Rocotoplants(LocotoX2 (40 pods this year), Cap 1492 (4 pods this year) and PI 585267 (also called Turbo Pube - no pods this year).
How many pods do you normaly get on a plant the second season John?

I haven't counted them but for me they are considerably more prolific the second year-and also much earlier. Here is an over wintered plant loaded with blossoms on 6/25




and one of several harvests from the two over wintered plants


And an early ripe- 7/24


I'm still waiting for ripe pods on some of the first year plants
