chinense Capsicum chinense var. Rocato

[Chilidude]

I bought a package of chilis from the market, that have been grown in Finland. The info says, that they are close to a Rocoto chili with similar taste and burn:
 

 


 
The pods have loads of seeds, thick juicy flesh and very nice taste to them. I have saved plenty of seeds and plan to grow some for the next year.

Yeah. They are not a Rocoto, they just say that this Rocato is similar in taste and burn.

sounds like you need to save some seeds aside and plant them... the flowers and leaves will tell you more.. if you want real rocoto i can send you some seeds.

I have saved plenty of those seeds and plan to grow some in the next year. No need for any c.pubescens seeds, because i have a PI 585267 aka Turbo pube growing in my greenhouse and will practice with that.
