I started an orange manzano pepper, This pepper is a rocoto
tree pepper relative and is noted for its cold hardiness, as it naturally
grows on Andean mountain slopes, this pepper will survive several
degrees below freezing. Plants grow to 2-6ft, can live for many years. this is it's first year. It's seems to be growing really well, and is known to overwinter well. So this one for sure will be overwintered. I'll plant the orange habanero next year, just got the seed.
