Description:

Manzano RED TEAR DROP Chile Pepper (Capsicum pubescens) is a species of the genus Capsicum (pepper) and is also know as Rocoto Chile. This is a somewhat smaller version to the regular red manzano which we also carry.
They are indigenous to the cloud forests of Central and South America. Because of their evolution in cloud forests, they will grow and tolerate cool weather. (These are some of the only kind of chilies that grow in cool fog (like is present in the Bay Area of California.) The species name, pubescens, means hairy, which refers to the hairy leaves of this pepper. The peppers have black seeds. They are perennial and live for years. They are Muy Caliente! Delicious with thick walls; they are best suited for sauce but dry well also if you give constant firm dehydration to completely dry-then grind or crack for a wonderfully fruity, hot, savory flavour. They are excellent fresh or dried in stir-fry, eggs, stews and anything else that go well with fresh chilies. The beautiful red color makes these chilies an excellent addition to your garden. They are extremely ornamental. They reach up to 5 feet tall + if allowed to grow for several years in a light to no frost area. There are orange manzano, and yellow tear drop varieties as well as our new Honey Badger type of Manzano Chilie you may find if you go to our site. (click at the top of this page under: see other items from this seller.) Harvest from 2021.

More info on our rocote manzano chilies: Rocoto is the South American term for the chillies from the Capsicum pubescens species, while “Manzano” means apple-shaped. “Pubescens” means “hairy” and comes from the fact that the leaves of the plants are hairy. The clearest differentiator to other species are the violet coloured, decorative flowers. It is worth overwintering Rocotos, as they can reach quite a high age. Because their stems lignify quickly, they are also referred to as “tree chillies”. The Rocoto plants can tolerate the cooler nights of the Central European climate. With good care and the right conditions, Rocotos can live for 10 years or more.
The Rocoto Manzano Red fruits are thick-walled and juicy, and have a fantastic, fruity flavour which is reminiscent of apples. In South American countries they also have the nickname “Gringo killer” due to their spiciness. The Rocotos are excellent for making into salsas or for baking with various fillings. The most well-known recipe (Rocoto relleno - stuffed Rocotos) comes from Peru: Rocoto halves are pickled in milk overnight and then filled with mince, hard boiled and chopped eggs, and topped with cheese.

Care: The germination temperature is between 20 und 28°C (7 - 20 day germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating mat is recommended. The plants need fresh, well-fertilized, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. As the plants have a long ripening time and are perennial, they should be cultivated in pots, so that the plants can be brought inside when the temperature falls below 10°C during the day. To overwinter after the harvest cut back by 20 cm and put them in a light place with a temperature of at least 15°C.

Más información sobre nuestros chiles rocote manzano: Rocoto es el término sudamericano para los chiles de la especie Capsicum pubescens, mientras que "Manzano" significa en forma de manzana. "Pubescens" significa "peludo" y proviene del hecho de que las hojas de las plantas son peludas. La diferencia más clara con otras especies son las flores decorativas de color violeta. Merece la pena invernar los rocotos, ya que pueden alcanzar una edad bastante elevada. Debido a que sus tallos se lignifican rápidamente, también se les llama "chiles de árbol". Las plantas de rocoto pueden tolerar las noches más frías del clima centroeuropeo. Con buenos cuidados y las condiciones adecuadas, los Rocotos pueden vivir 10 años o más.

Los frutos del Rocoto Manzano Red son de paredes gruesas y jugosas, y tienen un fantástico sabor afrutado que recuerda a las manzanas. En los países sudamericanos también tienen el apodo de "Gringo killer" por su carácter picante. Los rocotos son excelentes para hacer salsas o para hornear con diversos rellenos. La receta más conocida (Rocoto relleno) procede de Perú: Las mitades de rocoto se encurten en leche durante la noche y luego se rellenan con carne picada, huevos duros y picados, y se cubren con queso.

Cuidados: La temperatura de germinación oscila entre los 20 y los 28°C (período de germinación de 7 a 20 días), por lo que se recomienda el uso de un invernadero y una alfombra térmica. Las plantas necesitan un suelo fresco, bien abonado y permeable, y no toleran el encharcamiento. Deben plantarse en un lugar soleado y protegido con al menos 6 horas de luz solar, preferiblemente más. Coloque las plantas en el exterior unas 2 ó 3 semanas después de la última helada. Como las plantas tienen un largo periodo de maduración y son perennes, deben cultivarse en macetas, de modo que las plantas puedan introducirse en el interior cuando la temperatura descienda por debajo de los 10 °C durante el día. Para pasar el invierno después de la cosecha, recórtelas 20 cm y póngalas en un lugar luminoso con una temperatura de al menos 15°C.
