Need some input on a few varieties.... yay or nay.

[Katrina]

starting seeds today and I am on the fence about a few.
I am more interested in flavor that all out heat, as I have other peppers for that. I am a big fan or citrus / fruity ie. Datil, Fatalii etc.


Arivivi or aribibi gusano
Rocoto or Manzano (any color)

Thanks a ton!

You'll love both.

I dig the aribibi. I swear, when I picked them just a wee bit under ripe, they smelled like maple syrup to me.
Very prolific. The only downside I could think of would be that you need to aggressively tie them up. Mine wanted to sprawl on the ground.

I give the aribibi two thumbs up.

for the first time this year I am growing the red rocoto so Ican't be a judge but was told they are great stuffed.

I definately agree with the Aribibi, I give it 2 thumbs up too!
Also the plant looks great with little crinckled Peppers all over it. Great producer.

Aribibi pods

They should go a yellow colour, but quite a few went pretty white.

Gotta grow rocoto/Manzano if you have a longer season or start them early.
Great heat and fruity taste.
They like cool weather better than hot.
Not hard to grow but they get big fast.
like bigger pots.

Both are awesome.
