I think AJ had an overwintered plant that had over 3000 pods last year. I will wait for him to tell you how much exactly because I am too drunk to look it up.

I think I got a total of 5 lbs from all my plants last year, I really need to step up to the game.
2000+ pods only weighs 5lbs???
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but 2000 pods from one plant would take me probably ten seasons.
Think it's the texas heat. I probably meant to say 15lbs.
It depends on the variety, I have these "West Indies" growing that produce huge pods with very thick walls that make for a very heavy fruit.
Plant size can vary too, the larger the plant, generally the more fruit it produces, which also depends on the length of the growing season.
It's too complex to answer accuratly, the best answer I guess is 'it depends'.

Yup, and depends on the type of Hab. My reds are larger than any orange I've grown in the past and thicker fleshed too. Of course the age/size of the plant is a huge factor.
I can't tell you the total weight of the Orange habs from last years plant but it produced a ton...I didn't start weighting them until late last season...
assuming 6-7 grams a pepper, that would be about 70 peppers per pound, so that roughly is close to 30 pounds....
