Well, my Aji Amarillo started flowering about a week ago, and continues to make flowers and set. They are quite nice, with a lot of petals and a ton of pollen.
The plant is insanely big however, about 9 ft tall and 4-5 wide. And I'm not talking spindly growth, this is quite compact. I don't understand how it could grow like this in 3 gallon. In total it has one main stem and 4 extra stems from somewhere down, it was a good decision to limit the number early on, rest of the growth is just a branching of these.
I think it took about 5-6 branchings to start flowering, which is quite a lot, even rocotos start making flowers from the first branching, even if they don't usually set.
I'm guessing I have enough time in the season for them to ripen.
