Aji Amarillo

Aji Amarillo might be the most prolific pepper I've grown, out of 100+ varieties to date.

Buuuuuttttt.....of the 40 or so pounds of fruit my 4 six-foot-tall plants set this year, I ended up with 3 ripe peppers before our 4th hard freeze killed off and ruined what was left of what I'd been protecting under plastic for almost a month. Just way, way, way too late for zone 6, IMO. And these plants were started in February under lights. I had multiple varieties of superhots cranking out pod after pod while the amarillos just sat there fully-sized but green for months. Never again.
