Tree or Rocoto Pepper 'Mixture'
- Product number: 209362
- Origin: South America
- Latin: Capsicum pubescens
A mix of red, orange and yellow fruits! This cold-resistant pepper has been cultivated for over 5,000 years (formerly by the Inca people of the Andes). A few degrees of frost are not a problem, but don't count on it! The (oval) round to slightly blocky, thick-walled fruits are 5 cm, have characteristic black seeds and are preceded by blue flowers! The plant is hairy and grows vigorously. Due to the late ripening, it is wise to grow the plants in pots so that they can be brought indoors in October. In winter, the plants may be cut back and will faithfully bear fruit again the following year, year after year! Quite hot.
