Sounds yummy! Where do I find seeds?

Try Santa Fe Grande. There are some newer varieties of this pepper (such as mariachi) that are more sweet than hot. They get sweeter as they ripen from yellow to reddish orange.

I have some beautiful, Corno Di Toro, [Italian for bullhorn] growing now. they are excellent.

as far as a hot sweet pepper I have grown and enjoyed the 'hot' banana pepper. looks the same as the sweet yellow banana peppers with a little bite that I don't consider hot. easy to grow with tremendous yield.

Aji pineapple is another with sweet heat.

Old thread, but I think Cherry Moon is both hot and sweet: http://i.imgur.com/ZyDAl4H.jpg

Piquillo! Reports vary but mine are at least Fresno hot. Fresno is another good hot-sweet choice. Here are my Fresnos, grown from saved seed, from an overwintered plant from cross County chili's. Not sure if it has any hybrid stuff going on.

Cole... Those look like giants. How big are they actually?

Cole_Robbie · July 31, 2016

They are about golf ball size. They're on the sides in this pic: http://i.imgur.com/AAPsG4p.jpg

Looks great and tasty. I have never heard of that pepper before.

I cannot express to you how good a fried Manzano pepper is if you cut it in half remove the seeds and fry it until it collapses.
I just did this for the first time with one last night and put it on a hamburger.

Are they black-seeded?

Shrinkrap · August 1, 2016

I bought a Manzano this spring, and it hasn't even flowered yet, but I think I can overwinter it. It seems like there are many types.

Do you know which one you have Worth?

Actually, that was rocoto.

Cole_Robbie · August 1, 2016

Manzanos do have black seeds. Mine did not germinate. I think they are a hard pepper seed to germinate.

Worth1 · August 1, 2016

Yes they are manzano the orange ones both rocoto and manzano have black seeds.
I had a few germinate but they just croaked before they even got out of the ground.

Based on my experience, C.pubescens (Manzano, Rocoto), are a royal PITA to start.

I actually raised an 18" plant this year. It mysteriously wilted and died.

I'm starting to hate the species.

Chapeu de Frade, I have been told is sweet and fruity except near the seeds, where it is very hot. My father in law liked it very much. Unfortunately I killed off mine so no first hand experience here. Could someone post a Manzano picture please? I've never heard of this one.
