Hi all, I'm a long time lurker, but a new poster. My question is about three varieties I just acquired via SSE, none of them are really all that hot (I know, off to a bad start here) :-) , but ya'll are the most pepper knowledgable people around, so this seemed like a good place to start.
Has anybody grown any of these before? Thoughts? The SSE yearbook descriptions are below.
Aji Margariteño is a sweet C. chinense variety, indigenous to Margarita Island, with an intense flavor and aroma distinct from its mainland counterparts
Mako Akokosrade 90+ days, Capsicum chinense. Plants produce abundant quantities of pointed, wrinkled, dark yellow peppers. By far, the most aromatic pepper variety I've encountered anywhere, with an intense habanero aroma, with strong notes of melon and even a little mango. Ghanaians use this to add extra aroma to peppery dishes. 'Mako akokosrade' means 'yellow pepper' in the Twi langauge., The original seeds were collected on 2011.08.29, at a roadside market in Nkrakum village, outside Koforidua, East Akyim District, Eastern Region, Ghana.
Manganji 90 days, A long thin pepper that is a regional specialty from an area near Kyoto, it is an cross between fushimi and Cal Wonder bell pepper made some 80 years ago. Plants are 24 inches tall and quite prolific. Fruity, rich flavor - especially good grilled when either green or fully mature red.
