My favorite Capsicum baccatum is Aji Habanero. It's quite possibly my favorite pepper, too. Anyway, it's prolific, early, hardy, easy-to-grow, vigorous, works well in containers, dries easily, has great flavor, etc. It makes a great seasoning pepper. It's hot, but not near Habanero hot. The plants get large and they tolerate my climate and soil very well (regular Habaneros take a long time in our soil, it seems). The plant looks different than any other pepper I've grown.
Aji Omnicolor does okay in my climate and soil, but is later.
I tried Aji Limon (Hot Lemon Drops) last year, but it didn't fruit.
I'm trying Aji Amarillo this year. No fruit yet on it, but I have hope.
I'm growing a few Aji Habaneros, this year. Three are doing very well, and are getting a good supply of fruit, but one plant is tiny. I don't know why. Maybe it's crossed.
