Lemon Drop is the most famous variety of the plant species Capsicum Baccatum, whose members are particularly characterized by their vigor and their high yields. Plants of this Peruvian ají cultivar reach heights of 150-200 cm in the first year, grow strongly branched, and can carry up to 100 fruits. These are narrow, thin-walled, and are about 4-6 cm long. If grown in pots, the plants remain somewhat smaller. With 30,000-50,000 Scoville, the Hot Lemon chili belongs to the more intense variants. Its taste carries a fruity, almost citrus-like aroma. Due to the thin walls, the fruits can be dried or used fresh. This Baccatum pepper variety from South America has been known worldwide since the 1990s by the names 'Lemon Drop' or 'Ají limón', the lemon aji. All these names are due to the yellow colour of the mature fruit. Worth mentioning are the white flowers, whose petals have a typical yellow-green spot at the base of the leaf.

Fruit setting Fruit is now setting nicely, looks like it should - pointy, elongated. But I knew it it would be the real deal once the flowers opened because of the distinctive green stripes on pettals. Taste test later in summer!

Good germinator, but… … got cheated on the amount of seeds again. There were 9. Will update on what fruit they grow later!

Different from the promised variety We got the crop and the peppers were not what was described. They were rather round, pale yellow. No distinctive flavour, not citrusy, not spicy, not hot at all. The shrub itself is short about 40cm tall. A bit disappointed with the plant.
