Description: The El Oro De Ecuador Chilli is a baccatum variety hailing from Ecuador. Its big, busy, gangly plant produces delicious yellow pods. When grown in a pot, it reaches up to 1.5 meters in height, but if planted in the ground, it can become massive. Staking is recommended as baccatum plants tend to grow long and lanky. The pods are 3-4 cm long and 2-3 cm wide, starting green and ripening to a vibrant yellow. Even in cooler weather, this chilli keeps producing. The flavour is sweet and fruity, with a medium heat level that won’t overpower your dishes. A great choice for those seeking something unique!
