Rocottos in Florida

[Suncoast]

Given the fact that these come from a cooler alpine climate in the wild, is anyone having any success with them in central or south Florida?

In Tampa.
 
I have been interested in this as well (I love the taste of rocotos). Seconding Wicked Mike having great knowledge of this battle.

• I have two Locatos plants going this year that seem pretty promising, no flowers yet.
• I already have pods on a pineapple rocoto, but I'm not sure how long that will last.

Others germinating, or hanging inside at the moment:

• Rio Huallaga Rocoto
• Costa Rican Yellow Rocoto
• Aji Oro
• Mini Rocoto PI 387838

I can post pics if interested.
