This year I got around 60 pods plus each on on two single Rocoto/Manzano
plants.  Couldn't have been any cross pollination as one was in a
polytunnel, the other outdoors some hundred metres away.

Interestingly, I had yellow and reds growing together in a tunnel, and
didn't appear to get any cross pollination on either plant - both produced
only the colour they were supposed to.  Very interesting.

Cheers

doesn't cross with anything if I remember correctly.
There is also
some mis-information out there that you need more than
one
Pubescens plant to get fruits. Quite a few of us have
gotten fruits
on single Rocoto plants.

--> I have a cross breeding matrix on my CH FAQ page,
it lists the
does, does-nots and the maybe's.
