Most of the images below are of the Locoto and Aji Amarillo.
Lucky me, I had fresh peppers well into December of 1997.
This picture is of a flower from the Locoto (Capsicum pubescens) plant. (6/2/97)
This image of the Locoto plant shows the typical leaf structure and the shape of some immature Locoto chiles (7/22/97)
Here we have the first ripe Locoto (8/17/97). It was eaten by my family and I soon after this photo was taken. It was moderately hot (7 out of 10) with a clear difference in heat levels the closer you get to the seed holding areas. It also had a slight sweetness and discernible fruit flavor.
This Aji Amarillo (Capsicum baccatum) was grown in the same barrel as the Locoto you see on this page.(10/4/97)
Same barrel only here you see all the lovely ripe Locoto peppers in the back (10/4/97)
Close-up of some freshly picked Locoto & Aji Amarillo. (10/4)
11/30/97 and my Locoto/Aji Amarillo barrel is still producing. It still has about 20 yet to ripen chiles.
The "Bishop's Crow" peppers in the small wooden container are also doing very nicely.
