I have grown variety of C. baccatums. Most get quite tall, if planted in the garden soil. When growing them in Wisconsin, I got some ripe from the garden before first frost, with a ton of green fruits when the season ended. In your climate you should get ripe ones easily. I overwintered some of the plants in pots and found out that second season I got smaller plants with earlier harvest.

Now I am growing all my Ajis indoors as houseplants. With low light the plants get leggy and I have tied the long stems as loops. I will be trying to overwinter them to see if they grow more bushy next season.

I have got one ripe Aji Cristal and second is ripening. Lemon Drop has set three fruits so far.
