Details
A cross between the Rocoto and the Wild Ulupica, these plants are perennial evergreens in subtropical climates. The plants have beautiful purple blooms speckled around in fuzzy-leaved light green bushes that turn into dark green golf ball-sized peppers that eventually ripen to bright red. Very thick walls, crunch like apples and sport some nice contrast with the black seeds. Non-Isolated.
