I do both. Containers outside and some plants I put in the ground in the
backyard. The Rocotos I put in the ground didn't do so great podwise. They
got huge, but no peppers. Unfortunately they died in the frost. I did
overwinter a Black Namaqualand, Rocoto and Hawaiian Tabasco. Hope they'll do
well.

The Rocoto I had in a container produced 5 pods as big as apples. I was
satisfied with that amount. But I know they can produce a lot more. I know
of one picture of a Rocoto in a wine barrel I think that had over a hundred
hanging on it. YUM!!
