Aji Amarillo in Austin
I'm growing a Peruvian Aji Amarillo and its a great big beautiful
plant with big beautiful Ajis. The problem is they've been big beautiful ajis verdes for more than a month now and show no signs of turning amarillo. Has anyone else had any experience with these peppers? |

I'm not sure exactly which pepper you have; I've grown a capsicum baccatum in Minnesota that has quite large (5 to 7 inches long) fruit that start out yellow-green and eventually turn orangey-red. I don't get many red ones because they take over a month to fully ripen. I'm growing another baccatum this year that someone sent me the seeds -- he called them "Limon de Peru", and I've only seen one yellow pepper so far this year. I guess it took about 4 to 6 weeks to fully ripen. The limon peppers turn bright golden yellow when fully ripe, and they are only about 3 inches long (and I think they taste better than the other variety I usually grow) I like them better green anyway.

Where did you get the seeds for the aji amarillo?
I just moved to Austin and I'm from Peru so would love to have fresh ajies at home! Thanks! |

You will have to start from seeds on this I suspect. http://www.seedsofchange.com/ offers these for aji amarillo but it is getting a little late this year to start peppers from seeds. But you have to start when you can. Welcome to Austin. Rusty Mase Austin, Texas |

You still have plenty of time to enjoy a late summer or fall crop. The
peppers will take about 105- 110 days from the time you plant the seed. I would recommend the following to sites to order online. http://www.batnet.com/rwc-seed/ Redwood City Seed they have many exotic varities. http://www.tomatogrowers.com/index.html A good relible site for both tomato and pepper seed.
