Hello, I was hoping to compile a list of various pepper growth habits of chili peppers. I'll be growing a large variety of peppers this year, and for my in ground portion I was unsure where to put certain plants to maximize light availability and ease of access. Through your experience, how would you characterize the growth of your peppers?
Low (does it stay low to the ground)
Bushy (does it tend to grow multiple branches instead of a generally long tall stalk)
Dense (does it tend to grow in an dense rose-like manner)
Tall (does it get very large/tall)
Spindly (does it need support - or would do better with it)
Thick (does the base stalk get rather large or stay spindly like tomatoes)
Does well in container? (root system?)
Better off in ground?
Top heavy
Slow growing
Fast growing
Or any other useful descriptive term and combination thereof...
If you'd be so good as to characterize the growth of any peppers you care to, that would be a great resource for future pepperings.
This year I'm growing
Habanero
Red Habanero
Jalapeno
Serrano
Thai Chilli
Anaheim
Hungarian Yellow Wax
