The Variety

Aji Mango is a vibrant pepper known for its bright color and tropical flavor profile. This variety produces elongated fruits that ripen from green to a vivid orange and perform well in warm growing conditions.

As a Capsicum baccatum, it offers a different growth habit and flavor compared to more common pepper types, making it a unique addition to the garden.

Flavor & Heat

Aji Mango delivers a medium level of heat with strong fruity and citrus-like flavors. The taste is bright and slightly sweet, often described as tropical, making it stand out from more traditional peppers.

It’s ideal for hot sauces, salsas, and dishes where both flavor and color are important.

Garden Notes

Plant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures have warmed. Aji Mango prefers full sun, well-drained soil, and consistent watering.

Baccatum varieties tend to grow larger and may benefit from staking or support. Suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and large containers. Allow fruits to fully ripen to orange for best flavor.

🌱 Before You Plant

🌱 Check Night Time Temps

Peppers are warm-season plants and need heat to thrive.

Do not plant outdoors until after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures stay consistently mild.

Planting too early can slow growth and delay your harvest. Give peppers full sun, warm soil, and a little patience — they’ll take off when the season is right.
