I thought Rocopica were supposed to be red, and
that it was just taking forever for the pods to ripen.
But today, I noticed that the dark pods are actually
brown:
The seeds in the wrinkled pod are dark like a Rocoto.
The other pod has lighter seeds, but the red inside looks
like a typical chocolate variety. Taste not a real winner, but
perhaps dried they would be a good addition to a chocolate
blend powder.
Pods are juicy!

Hey, Paul. Those rocoto ecuador pods look great. I grew seeds from the stettoman's ecuador last season and was truly impressed with both the plants and pods.
Are those brown rocopica pods from seeds I sent you? If so, you've identified for me what exactly it is - USDA Cardenasii x Rocoto XL Brown F2 w/ F3 seeds inside. I received the seeds as the cardenasii and I know the plant was grown near an XL Brown (among other rocotos) - I'd been hoping it was the XLB it had crossed with
It's a joy to see all the pods you continue to pull in. Looks like your page-topper duck is going to be liking the local weather again soon, though

Yes, these are from your seeds, CD.CaneDog said:Hey, Paul. Those rocoto ecuador pods look great. I grew seeds from the stettoman's ecuador last season and was truly impressed with both the plants and pods.
One of the more productive Rocotos I have grown.
Pods have a pretty good kick for a Rocoto.

It’s good to know the story behind the Rocopica.
I was surprised at the brown color. Rounds out the
wild pod collection quite nicely.
The season seems to be finishing on a positive note
for the PNW, eh? There will still be a number of unripe
pods on some of the plants, but all-in-all, most have
been productive. I’d rather not have the June Suck And
Fall Weather Anxiety every year
So what were your thoughts on the Big Brown Bhuts? I did not grow them this year because i wanted to try some other stuff. The brown "Reapers" i grew instead cranked out pods.
I have never tried or grown such a large wickedly hot pepper as them brown bhuts. Ive tasted hotter but not in a monster sized pod. They were easily hotter than the standard bhuts i grew before but i did not care for the flavor nearly as much. I much prefer them dried over fresh.

The BJ Brown is a super productive plant. It isShowMeDaSauce said:
the first I've grown to actually ripen up all its pods.
Haven't tasted one, yet. My main purpose is for a
nice chocolate powder. I usually mix whatever
pods I have. This year the BJ, and a Moruga UV
Chocolate.
