Lots of chiles are called Aji this or that, just means old in Spanish.
the Aji Limon de Peru is also known as Hot Lemons in this country.
Largest I've grown have been about 3 inches.
I use the term "aji" to refer to capsicum baccatum, the species commonly
grown in South America. I dunno why they are not more common in North
America. A good thing about them is they will not cross with any of the
other species of peppers -- so if you only grow one variety of baccatums at
a time you can save the seeds and keep the variety pure.
Best regards,
