Mainly for Manda [SBP] who asked for a photo a while ago.
This is my Albert Locoto or Rocoto Chilli Pepper plant, grow from the seeds from Real Seeds.
It was sown 3rd Feb 2008 in a heated propagator. Then repotted and hardened off with all the other chillis, and grown half outside [on warm/hot days] half indoors [in cold but sunny garage] and brought in from the garage to the dining room in December.
The peppers were all green when it came indoors but they have turned red. We've had about 8 off it now, and you can see the others coming red now.
I had cut the foliage back in about sept/oct time, as the branches do sprawl, and it has grown new leaves since making it a bit more dense.
It looks like it can get quite big, but I'm just seeing how long it will last if grown over a few years, and keeping the size relatively the same as it is now.

I've just received some 'Rocoto orange' seeds and they are most definately black.
