Rocotos/Manzanos are not common to most areas. Their long maturity time for
fruiting does not lend it to commercial growing. They don't like high
temperatures as do most other Chiles, but they don't like it cold either.
We have had good success growing Manzano in hot, humid weather of Virginia
by planting in shady (yet bright) areas. They are one of the most beautiful
plants in the Chile world!

Their thick wall and great taste with good heat make them good candidates
for using fresh in salsas, salads, casseroles, etc. We also smoke-dry them
and grind to make an unusual Chile powder.
