They look like hot pumpkins and are delicious when used to make hot apple jelly
I'm waiting to see what the wood looks like when you mill it. :D

The wood will be hot looking, not for everyone, but tasty.........
Well I've got some chilli trees growing here. Rocoto can grow to 16ft tall and live for 15 years, and develop "woody" stems over time.
This is a couple of plants coming out of Winter. As long as you keep the frost off them they don't even drop their leaves. Some of this years seedlings just getting started beside them.

Middle of Spring now, and the rocoto are flowering already.

Sounds like we need to move this thread to Health and Safety and remind people during and after milling to be sure to wash their hands thoroughly before they go pee. :D
