Rocoto Manzano - Yellow

Heat: Hot (40,000 SHU)

110 Days. A hardy Capsicum pubescens from Bolivia and Peru producing apple-shaped yellow pods 5–7 cm across with the distinctive black seeds characteristic of the pubescens species. A remarkable long-lived perennial capable of growing for 10 or more years and reaching up to 5 metres in ideal conditions, producing many hundreds of juicy, sweet, richly flavoured pods over its lifetime.

One of the most cold-tolerant chillies available, performing well in cooler climates while still benefiting from shelter from strong winds and heavy frost. Grow in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.

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