Rocoto - Aji Large Red

Heat: Hot (40,000 SHU)

110 Days. A robust Capsicum pubescens producing elongated, slightly wrinkled red pods with thick, juicy walls that ripen from green. One of the larger-podded Rocoto types, this variety is highly productive with a hardy nature and good tolerance to cooler conditions — a characteristic of the pubescens species that sets it apart from most chillies. Best grown with shelter from strong winds and protection from heavy frost.

Plants reach 1.2 metres and perform well in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. A reliable and rewarding variety for the home garden.

Harvest: Pick when pods are fully red for peak sweetness and heat.
Flavour: Very juicy, sweet, and rich with solid heat.
