From memory C. baccatum are not so bad as some in terms of growing season. Rocoto (C. pubescens) takes ages to ripen, some of mine failed to turn red before frosts hit. They also don’t do too badly outdoors, once frosts have gone, unlike C. chinense. In 2012, when we had more than 40 days and nights of rain, and heavy cloud, my Lemon Drop actually produced a decent number of pods.
They all say Lemon Drop taste of lemon, but I’ve grown them twice, and none tasted of lemon, just a C. baccatum taste!
