This is an increasingly popular new variety that was bred by a Finnish grower (K. Virolainen) to be larger and milder than the hugely popular Aji Limon. The plants are very prolific and the fruits tend to have a sweet taste.
This plant will need supporting as it grows. Minimum pot size is 2 liters but it will do better in a bigger pot (5 to 10 litres) or even being grown in the ground.
Note that this variety is considered to be fairly stable. However, as with any new varieties there is a chance that some fruits may be different from the original parent, meaning that there is a small chance that you may end up with something brand new, unique and exciting!
Heat level: About 20,000 SHUs. It is milder than the Aji Limon which is approximately 40,000 to 60,000 SHUs. Learn about Scoville Heat Units (SHUs)here.
