If you email me your address again, I can send you some True Rocotillo seed once the weather cools down. Like any pepper seed, keep in the fridge, in a airtight jar and keep dry. Stored this way, pepper seeds can last over 8 years.
I had a reverse cross on one “not-bagged” (pollination control) Red Carib. Goat Pepper; it crossed with Rocotillo. Looked just like a lot of fake Rocotillos. It was very hot. I pitched it, since it’s just source for contamination. Last time I grew Rocotillos, it was the only Capsicum chinense I grew that year, so seed should be good.
