Hey Frank, I know where to get manzanos. They are
prevalent around San Jose/Gilroy. I thought they
looked similar .....
I bought some a few years back from a grower in Gilroy
and they were mild. This past year they were hot. OK
- so now I can place the manzanos with the rocoto
photos. Thanks! So where's "here" for you?
