- Season: All year.
- Where: Lowland, also grown on hill farms in Laguna.
- Very prolific.
- Keeps for up to about a week after picking, so it ships well.
- Also bore well on a hilly farm in Laguna, where the plants grew taller than in the lowland.
Why farmers know it: Agriculture Monthly profiled a Liliw, Laguna hill farm picking 300 to 400 kg a month from half a hectare, and a Batangas chili grower planted it around his field, also in Harbest's Seeds of Hope catalogue. These are the seller's own figures, from its own trials. So plant a small area first, and compare it with your usual chili on the same ground.
