Aji Amarillo Grande can probably get 3-4 ft tall and 3 ft in diameter.
Baby Aji gets about 3 feet tall and 3 feet in diameter.
I will be curious to hear about how the Aji Amarillo you got in a trade compares to Aji Amarillo Grande.

Well, I've discovered a way to prevent our 10-gallon and 18-gallon totes from drying out quickly. Just put shredded wood mulch on top! I have to water them less than the mulched peppers in the ground, interestingly. Last year, without the mulch, I had to water them every two or three days. This year, I can wait a good while (but it's harder to tell when they do need water; it's easy to overwater them).
