Brigit's Locoto Chilli Seeds
Aji Brigit’s Locoto Chilli Seeds. Brigit’s Locoto (C. Baccatum), we understand comes from Bolivia. This plant is a beast when it comes to production. Probably the most productive Baccatum we have come across, If you are looking for a Baccatum that is a super producer – and – let’s throw in there, easy to grow… then this is the top choice. This plant is wild. Wispy, vine like bushy growth that just produces all season long. Pendant pods that are similar to the Aji Ethiopian Fire, about 4-5cm in length that ripen from a light, pale green through orange to fabulous red. This is a no nonsense huge production plant. The flavour is straight up Baccatum. Crisp, clean and sweet when fully ripe. The heat is around 10,000 – 15,000 SHU which brings them into the mild fold of peppers. A stunning plant. And did we mention that this is a massive producer???

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
