Wow, those plants look incredible! Good work with the wilds Lee, thats one part of pepper growing I have avoided so far but am so looking forward to trying in the future, especially after seeing pics like yours. Do you like the taste/flavor of any of your wild types, and how do you like to use them?

The term wild refers to plants that grow outside the human-disturbed habitat and cannot succesfully invade human-disturbed areas (Paul W. Bosland)

Well here's a nice instruction on How To ;)

the trimming of the root helps to develop a healthy strong plant and at the same time makes for a good bonchi plant. And also helps with making a big trunk ( or stem ) on a pepper there for allowing for more intake of nutrients leading to as stated a healthier plant.

Well first you have to grow a big plant with a nice stem before making a Bonchi of it. Once you've cut it the trunk or stem actually won't grow anymore. The big roots are nice for cosmetics and trimming the smaller roots will make it more massive. But take a look at Fatalii's Bonchi instruction

The plants look wonderful. I was on fitalii's website the other day and was looking at the growing guide for the bonchi. It looks like a lot of fun. I will definately be doing that with some plants next season. I hope I can get them to look half that good.

Cool! I think I'll try to make one out of a Medusa and/or my unknow annuum this year. Can't really find any other use for them;) You really should try to bend the branches on the rhomboideum down though.
