Good looking plant,Mike!

Sure wish I could get my Orange Rocoto seeds to germinate. I really miss growing that variety.

Very nice looking plants both you guys!

Here is a link that might be useful:

Nice. I am a big hot sauce guy. Thats one of the main things i do with the peppers i harvest in the fall and rocotos have such a unique flavor from all other peppers. Good Job.

Nice big pod, jt. Wish I had some seeds to send you. I have some of yours called rocoto yellow but I suppose that is a different pepper.

Hi John,

Different pepper, but that particular yellow was certainly outstanding. I sent seeds of that one to at least a doz countries and one of it's siblings produced pods up to 150 grams! (compare that mentally to my above pic of a 70 gram rocoto pod) I call it's siblings "Jan's Giant Yellow" only to keep separate from the parent. I was sent a very few seeds of it and got two of them to sprout on 3/26 (old seeds) Hopefully by early spring 2008 I will have plenty of pure seeds to share. I don't expect to get ripe pods before the 1st part of the year.

Happy growing!
