Hello? *points at self* Baccatuum Girl, here. They already show more cold tolerance as a species in my experience. There are exceptions, of course, but as a whole, they performed and survived better in my hoop house experiment than the Annuums or Chinense plants.
And I am growing Aji Rojo plants from two different sources this season because they are said to tolerate light frosts.
So, yeah, it is an area I am exploring.
