Aji?

[swellcat]

Aji is the word used by my South American wife and her family to refer to the chile . . .

Do they say, "Ah-HEE", emphasis on the second syllable?

Writing it without the accent mark may be leading us to mispronounce the word.

Bolivian reference

I let my plants grow how ever they want, meaning I don't top or prune them. I only provide support. Having said that, no they do not spread noticeably; probably 1.5 to 2 feet. Much more tall and thin. I'm sure if you top them or prune them or let them sprawl without support, they'll be shorter and fatter.
