I will give you some but I don't have any pure seeds now.
I dried some from those pods but I'm sure they are crossed.
The plant is about to flower right now, I will isolate a few flowers for seeds.
Cheers!

Wow, nice looking pod! How is the flavor?

I
The flavor is like the others Red Rocotos maybe more like a bell pepper.
The heat is medium for a Pube.

Beautiful looking Rocoto!

The plant I grew from the Rocoto Peru Cusco seeds you sent me is putting off some delicious yellow pods BTW. The burn is absolutely slicing on the tongue, and the flavor is a bit like a very ripe mango.

I'm glad you like them!
Guatemalan Red from your seeds is full of pods and flowers.
Lima Market Rojo is a very healthy plant but drops all flowers,what do you think about that?
Unfortunately I lost 2 plants from your seeds:
Arequipeno and Ecuadorian Red.
Ecuadorian Sweet is healthy and she set one pod.

IDK why the Lima Market would be dropping flowers. It usually does pretty well. It's not the most prolific rocoto, but the pod size and flavor is on point. Bummer you lost those other two plants. Hopefully you still have some seeds left to give it another try in a future season.

I have seeds left from all your varieties.
Definitely I will grow them next year.
 
Things are rollin' for you, Nicolau!  Your c. pubescens varieties are
most interesting and you are doing a great job with them.  I'm glad
you finally found some with flavor and heat to your liking.
 
Have you got the leaf die-off issue under control yet?  Wondering if
the Cal-Mag didi the trick for you...

Thanks!
I lost most of my Pubescens.
The rest of my plants : Anuum and Chinense are healthy.
May be some kind of stress .

Oh, man, sorry to hear that, Nicolau. The fact that there is
another season next year really isn't much of a consolation!
 
Glad the others are faring better,
 
My pubescens start to look like that in the Fall when the
weather turns a bit nasty.  They like cooler temperatures,
for sure, but just not wet, windy and cold!
 
You should at least try the ones you found
a liking for. Just my two cents worth
