If you have alot of plants and good conditions, alot!
HaHa I should of but I had no idea that there would be so manyShooty* said:Depends how big the plant is, really.
Have you pledged a certain number to a local shop or something?
I only have the one cayenne and 3 of the same unknown but they are indoors. The cayenne is going to have more than a hundred and still counting....imaguitargod said:

Yeah I am thinking chutney oils and sauces
a typical healthy Cayenne should produce roughly 40-50 pods depending on growing conditions and length of season

Cool good to know I thought I may have a real mutant on my hand, its already got around the 100 mark and its flowering and sprouting all over the place, however my friend has a sister plant and it only has about six or so pods. Also I took a yellowing double leaf of it the other day and now I have a double flower
Obvously its not normal but is there a reason this happens?

Sounds right. I grew one for the first time last year and got about that many for the growing season (about mid July until end September). It doesn't work out to be very many per week. Needless to say I'm growing a lot more of them this year.
It didn't say on the label last year what kind of Cayenne it was. It think it was a "Bonnie's" plant. This year I'm growing "Long Red". I hope that means I'll have the same amount of pods but they are bigger!
I've seen postings mentioning "Ring of Fire" and to be honest at first I thought people were talking about a symptom of what you experience the next day after having eaten hot peppers, if you know what I mean.
I realized later it was a type of pepper.For those of you who have tried various types of cayennes, what are your favorites and why?

seems like it! over 100 pods - better get those babies drug tested!

So where can I find out what kind of cayenne it is to see how many pods it should have? The fruit itself is about the 5" mark, some straight some curled, but they are still all green. I feel cos it is producing so many maybe I should give it a bigger pot is that wise when its fruiting
Also a couple of the older leaves are yellowing is this normal?Yellowing leaves is normanl.

Where did you get this cayenne?
I wouldn't repot it just now, it could go shocky and drop all its blooms.
Pam said:
Ok I won't, but how long does it produce fruit for will it go on until the days get shorter? Cos thats a long way off.
I just got it as a present last October, my mate planted it from seed but he doesnt know what it is. It just looks like an everyday pepper nothing remarkable except its mass production. All my plants are going berserk though maybe I just have a good environment for them.
Gonna check out the chileman site to see if I can identify the beastie!kas said:
In my experience, cayenne's are pretty steady producers, but that doesn't mean some varieties don't have a heavy flush of peppers, pause briefly, then produce another flush. I would guess that either way, you'll be getting peppers all season.

You might give Cross Country's site a try, too. Go to www.chileplants.com and use the "All pod types" drop down menu under Search to select cayenne types. They've probably got 50 varieties, and they have good pictures and descriptions for most of their peppers.
