These hairy leaved chillies originate from Bolivia and Peru and cope well with a cool climate, but still like a sunny, moist position. They can live for many years and can reach 2 metres tall. The Rocoto Tree Chilli also has another common name of Hot lips and there is no question of the heat in these perennial chillies. The fruit matures from green to red and ranges in heat from medium hot to very hot depending on the weather. Also suitable for pots.
