Hello All-
I have an observation to discuss.  When tying my Aji Amarillo plants up
late this summer, I had several limbs which were up against a ledge in
the fence.  I laid a couple limbs on the ledge to support the fruit
load.  This left the limbs:
1. In total shade from the higher foliage and;
2. Completely supported from hanging weight.

I have observed that the fruit on these limbs is 40% larger than the
fruit on the rest of the plant, as well as my other plants.  Some are 8"
long and the diameter of a ping pong ball-- unusual for my Aji
Amarillos.  Could supporting the fruit from hanging under its own weight
cause such a characteristic?  Any information is appreciated.
