Tasted some Pubes and I'm very disappointed about their taste and heat.
First one was Rocoto Amarillo: no heat,very juicy and tasted like plain water.
Aji Largo : this one had some heat and taste like a sweet pepper but very diluted.
Rocoto Marlene:only the placenta had some heat and taste was like a unripe tomato but very weak
Costarican red :had some heat ,I can describe the taste but it was very diluted anyway

That sucks that those were all low in both flavor and heat. Usually rocoto have a very distinct flavor, but for there to be no flavor must be a major let down. You have so many varieties that I'm sure you will find a handful of them that have what you are looking for heat and flavor wise. I have never tried any of those varieties, but I am growing the aji largo this year. I just don't have any ripe aji largo pods yet.

Maybe I don't have the right conditions for them?

Sorry to hear that, :confused: especially after you worked so hard to get them. The only Pubiscens peppers I've sampled are the Orange Manzano and Red Rocoto, and both had plent of flavor and heat. Hopefully you'll find a variety with the qualities you like out of all the ones you have planted. We're pullin' for ya! :)

Wow, 6 weeks to change from green to yellow?! I guess I'm going to have quite the wait then to try my aji oro out. BTW, the mini rocoto I'm growing from the seeds we traded are ripening to red. I was expecting them to turn yellow. I didn't know there was a red mini rocoto, maybe it crossed at some point or something. It is a fantastic plant though.

I hope so.
I'm thinking that lack of taste and heat is due to heat.
I have a Red Rocoto plant from a tested pod. I'm curious to see if it has the same taste.

Yea, is the fastest variety .
Can't wait to taste this one ,is very productive and heat tolerant .
Nice surprise that Mini Rocoto ,I hope to be a good one.
Do you tasted yet?
I don't have plants from that batch of seeds,not even one seed germinated. I have one Rocoto mini from another source but the don't have pods from him.

Yes, they are tasty. Medium heat with a cherry/apple kind of flavor. I'm saving lots of seeds, so I'll make sure to send you some.

I hope so too. I made a Pico de Gallo salsa today with some fresh tomatoes, and cilantro from the garden, and a frozen Red Rocoto pod I thawed. One pod was the perfect heat level for me.

     I hope your flavor and heat issues are limited to the first few pods you pick. Your plants are too healthy and pretty to produce duds! If I lived closer, I'd send you a box of Peru Bitdumis to tide you over. I hope your plants get things figured out and start making you happy soon!

I hope that too.
Peru Bitdumi is looking good ,it's about to start another round of flowers.
