Sounds like you are describing what is often called "Kanthari" which is C. frutescens. There are pale/white ripening orange to red varieties as well as green to red types.

Awesome pics! So at least you know that one has a name already! Cool sounding name too.

Ummm? wouldn't someone from Fiji that you know have a name for it? If so, call it by its local name, don't try to translate it or give it a more familiar name, it is what it is right?

Keep in mind that most jalapenos grown in Mexico for export are hybrids.......

Ahh maybe we finally have the real name for aji "omnicolor" :)

Epazote!   also Cilantro (and/or Coriander seed), Alliums, Cumin, Mexican oregano, Curry leaf (Murraya Koenigii).

Much better flavor dried in my opinion, and that is usually how they are used(dried) once ripe.

How about "Prairie Fire", Numex Twighlight, and a few of the Thai varieities?

True Amarillo can vary in shape and size quite a bit even on the same plant. Also the commercial variety can be reasonably thick fleshed and crunchy, yum yum. If you do a google image search for Aji Amarillo or Aji Escabeche and allow non-english results, you will see many beautiful pictures of...

seedsofindia.com has seeds to a hybrid Moringa and Horizon Herbs has them from time to time.

Yup, Aji Amarillo. Peruvian Aji Amarillo (commercial/common varieties) ripen orange, but when used in food/salsa results in yellow color. In some regions they are called Aji Escabeche, and when dried they are Aji Mirasol or Aji Mirasol Amarillo.

I love photos of international markets containing real(local) fruits and veggies!   Hey Smokemaster, maybe I misunderstood your post, but were including "Early" as a hybrid? It is an OP. Or were you just saying you don't like them? I otherwise agree with your statements completely!

I would have to agree, "Early" usually end up hotter than the others under my growing conditions, but like other jalapenos are inconsistent from fruit to fruit. I have also grown/liked Zapotec, M, TAM Vera Cruz, Mitla Hybrid, and Mucho Nacho Hybrid. I grew Jalafuego last year and wasn't that...

Aji Amarillo, and then a whole bunch of others!

Wow!

If everything is as they say, I am unbelievably jealous!!!!!!!! I have an obsession with Peruvian ajies and food!

I'm not sure how, but somewhere between(outside of) Peru and the rest of the world, Aji Mochero became "Aji Limon (C. chinensis)". It appears to be too late to get it right again. Aji Mochero is a stabilized landrace of Aji Limo, maybe Limo got confused with Limon? It seems that "Aji Limo" is...

Maybe not a cross, but I would love an Aji Amarillo that was compact, more heat tolerant, and matured early!

It could be BLS, it could also be thrip damage, or both! It could also be a result of general "winter decline" in which conditions (light, humidity, temp) result in the plant being more susceptible to pathogens and insects. Once conditions improve the plant will regain vigor and may be less...

I have some isolated Zapotec seeds, but I won't be able to mess around with getting them out until after Jan. 2nd sometime. PM me around then if no one else can take care of you before then.
