Nigel is sooo right ...I totally agree ..
Baccatum: I haven't tasted a Baccatum I didn't like...
Be warned, vines like to grow BIG and need substantial support.
Brazilian starfish is more tree like with strong trunks and loads of pods in the canopy.
A single Birgit locoto can be an amazing producer. Giant Vines grow quickly !
Pubecens: Rocotos, Manzanos - delightful unique taste. Needs long growing season.
The first year yield may be low but overwinters well and pounds (lbs.) out pods the next season.
Annums: Cow Horn, Padron, Sweet Heat - high yield great versatility, easy to grow.
Wild: Charapita - little 'pocket rockets'. Larger and more juicy than Cumari do Para, quick heat,
but subsides fast enough it doesn't overpower the taste of food. Was slower to germinate, grew slowly
while inside. Grew fast once they got outside into warmth, some plants set two pods per leaf axle.
I Pick them as soon as bright golden yellow or the birds get them.
