Tio = Aji Cereza?

[Pepper-Guru]

anybody have any updates on the "Tio"? 
 
still a mystery to me.

 
 

No, but I still have original and my nextgen (Open Pollinated) seeds, so I'll eventually grow them out again.  Ty 4 the reminder.

 
 
While in Iquitos in 2015, I was able to collect and retrieve both Aji Charapita and what I always believed to be Aji Cerezo. Both C. Chinense dominant. As pictured here with some other finds that day. 
 

 
 
 
I have been noticing lately, that when finding others mentioning "Aji Cerezo/a" that they are showing a small C. Annuum that looks very similar. Even Ajies De Peruano lists them as annuum. 
 
 
So either Charapita just comes in Yellow and Red, much like Aji Limo, or someone got it wrong from way back. All I can say for sure is that everytime I found Aji Charapita Yellow, it was always labeled or refereed to as Aji Charapita. However, when you find the red right next to them, no name, no label, and no one knew the name. Trust me I asked, over and over. Everyone knew the yellow were "Charapita" but no local could tell me what the red were called.

Yeah, those Cerezos look pretty similar too! how did the plant look? 
Similar to the one I posted? 
 
Nobody knew what it was called where I got mine either. I asked everyone around as well.

Both plants identical for the last 4 years or so. I'm beginning to think that it can throw red or orange/yellow at any time, much like Aji Limo. 
 
Passed two years, I've ended up with orange/yellow "Charapita" in the seedling cells where I KNOW i sowed red "Cerezo" - regardless of isolation nets and selfing. Either that, or I goofed on those the passed two years when sowing into the trays. 
 
Here they both are this year in my garden, looking like they always do!
