Tree or Rocoto Pepper 'Mixture'
- Product number: 209362
- Origin: South America
- Latin: Capsicum pubescens
Mix of red, orange and yellow fruits! This cold-resistant pepper has been cultivated for over 5000 years (formerly by the Mountain Incas). A few degrees of frost is not a problem, but don't let it come to that! 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 smart to grow the plants in pots so that they can be brought indoors in October. In winter, plants can be pruned back and will faithfully bear fruit again the following year, year after year! Quite hot.
