The weather finally got normal here so some fruit is finally staying on my weeds.These are off some seeds Bro Aji Joe sent me some time ago. The plant is almost big enough to hang a hammock in but the flowers and buds just began to stick.Rocotos like strong long duration light from what I can tell now.
We're getting into the dry season now with 12 hours of blistering sun.I'm talking carpenter from Texas fried in 2 hours kinda blistering sun.Between the altitude and being only 9 degrees north it's serious sun.
I'm going to plant a couple in my bean field and see if I can scorch them to death. I bet they'll put out tons of fruit.
I did 5 quarts of sauce using Rick Bayless'z Hab hot sauce recipe. It must be the soil here but these Rocotos are as hot as any of my Habs.After this batch, it's official. Rocotoz are my favorite pepper(until tomorrow).

I have to agree with you there. Rocotos are incredible and definitely at the top of my favorite pepper list.

This is my first grow season coming up. I will be growing an orange rocoto. What other "rocotos" are there, that you recommend? Thanks.
