Ugh. I promise I'll have better pics soon. I don't even know why I posted these.

I should do that!  It could make me feel like I'm doing mathscience when I see how much they grow each year

My venerable 4 year old TS CARDI Yellow, has quite a decent sized woody trunk on him…  measuring over an inch diameter all the way up to the Y section.  The plant has given up sending out new growth lower down the trunk as I have always stripped it off, resulting in Bonchi type habit, especially at the start of each new season.  Here are some recent photos..
 

 

 

 

Looks like I’m in for another good year from this plant, first pod has now set. 

I cut back hard root and branch each year, here is a pic of the initial re-growth earlier in the year.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Habanero McGee]

That is absolutely ridiculous.

Being that grow season is well underway for many of us, I think it's a good time to give this awesome thread a bump.  A shame some of the pics are gone now though lol

I'm working on developing a fat trunk on a pepper plant. At this point its to embarrassing to post pictures lol.

 

[Helvete]

I've got some great second year plants I can post up (with tape measure) but I'll probably have to wait until another time because I'm not at home right now.

 

[stoney's_ghost]

It's full of flowers and pods now but..
My Bonchi Bhut. He's going into a larger container when the season is over. My biggest trunk container plant but my biggest trunk goes to my in-ground 3 year old Tabasco. About 2" in diameter. My Fatalii probably has the lowest, thickest trunk. Might make him a bonchi after season.
