Aji Amarillo Grande can probably get 3-4 ft tall and 3 ft in diameter.

Baby Aji gets about 3 feet tall and 3 feet in diameter.

I will be curious to hear about how the Aji Amarillo you got in a trade compares to Aji Amarillo Grande.
Thanks so much for your response! I am using all manner of sub- irrigation, "self watering", passive hydroponic/kratky and automatic drip shenanigans, and am open to suggestions!

I had the nerve to give a client from Peru I just met , seedlings of both the Baby and the Grande. I said I expected them to ripen orange rather than yellow and he seemed surprised.
