Should be spelled "Aji Cristal". Stout 24-30" upright bushes need little support. 4" x 1" pods, ripen yellow > orange > red, shiny almost waxy translucent appearance, medium-thick walls, highly productive, medium heat, fairly short DTM (ripens reliable in my short season), one of my go-to peppers for making hot canned salsa. Very attractive plants with peppers at various stages of ripeness, my photos are too high-res to upload to this site.
