| Does anyone have photos of a mature Aji Limon plant, and the peppers? I have never grown this, but have ordered some seeds. There are so many similar pepper types and similar names, it is difficult to pin it down on the web.
I understand it is pretty hot, but has a great fruity - lemony tang to it. Sure sounds good. Also, I have read it produces heavily and that it is a good one to keep around over the winter. Anyone have experience in keeping it for a few years? Thanks! Jim G |

| Smokemaster - the link below is the seed I ordered. I have not received it yet, but soon. I had gone to The Chileman and seen the peppers you sent me the link to. Actually, that is where my confusion came in. The Lemon and Limon look so similar. Have you grown this particular pepper? Do you like it? |

| The seeds I have from the chile institute are Baccatums. Thats according to the pack lable-I just looked. I don't think they sell the C.Chinense. Baccatums have gold specks in the flower. I personally think the pods are a lot different in the Chinense-fat ,more cone shapped , not long skinney. |

| I like them both. I grow a lot of Bacctums from time to time along with mostly Chinense. |

| Glad to hear it. I will look forward to getting the seeds. |

| Ok I have a question about the leaves on Lemon Drop. Mine are shorter and squat instead of the longer leaves of the bells and jalapenos. Is that normal for a Bacctum? The bush also looks like it'll be shaped more like a habanero pepper bush. The plants are small but I can tell which they are from across the room even if they are in a group of peppers. |
