Hi C-H's,

The following is conjectural as I have not done comparative tests. I 
suspect that rocotos will do OK in open sunshine IF the temperature 
is not too high. They appear to get a bad case of the sulks if the 
temperature here is over about 85degF(~30degC); so it might be a 
combination of high temperature and humidity plus the heating effects 
of direct sun that they do not like. C. chinense on the other hand 
love extreme heat and humidity.
