I have never been to Peru, but I have seen both red and yellow rocotos
direct from Peru, and they were very large -- considerably larger than I
have seen grown anywhere in USA, including those I have grown from seeds of
those same large Peruvian rocotos (and the seeds of which were the ones I
distributed to you and others several years ago).
As far as I know, those rocotos were nothing special, just ordinary market
fruits selected at an ordinary Arequipa market.
