Hi,

Out of the dark... 
As I'm a big Rocoto fan sins I got a few seeds from Cameron a few years ago
I grow them each year from seed.
I have never had any problem in germination even when at temperature below
20degC.
I only have them in pots, three or four plants each... lots of hot fruit
each year.
These are the real one's for me!
I thing the climate in Holland is very nice for Rocoto, not to wet not to
dry and not to warm.

Hot regards
Rob NL

  Do Rocoto seeds require any special germination techniques?  
  Is 85 degrees Fahrenheit OK or do they need a cooler temp?  Soak seed?
  
  Should I expect any fruit the first season?
  
  TIA
