Aji Rojo
“Fantastic producer, easy to grow and has a long season. What is there not to like?”
Capsicum Baccatum
Aji Rojo is another amazing Capsicum Baccatum from Peru.
When this plant is grown in a pot it grows approximate 90 cm in height. However, when it is planted in the ground it can double in height.
A big and bushy plant, easy to grow and seems to like a colder climate, as it stills pods up in the middle of the Australian winter with night temperatures down to 5 degrees Celsius.
The pods are 10-12 long cm long and 1-2 cm wide with a little tall; start off green and end up a bright red colour, when they are fully mature.
This chilli would be great in a salad, salsa, pickled, stir-fry or fry them in a good olive oil, sprinkle a bit of salt and serve them as tapas.
All in all a great producer, easy to grow, it has a long season, like cooler climate and is a beautiful chilli variety.

Love this chilli! Tall, lanky plant, ours have grown to over 10 ft in a 5 gallon pot! Juicy and sweet with a perfumy scent, low heat. Great in salads, salsa, scrambled egg. We also pan roast them in olive oil alongside our shishito peppers and serve them as tapas – delicious.
