Natural Bonsai

[coastal-pepper]

This is the story of a pepper that is is three years old. Has survived untold storms, insect swarms, freezes, droughts..I think of it as a natural bonsai.

This plant has seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I'ts watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

True, I am a lazy gardener..yet It's siblings are at least two feet tall and everyone got the same treatment..I don't even know what it is anymore..I remember it spent a long time in the seed tray...just didn't want to get potted. I am gonna do some seed saving since it worked so long and hard to produce it's first ripe fruit..It's lineage deserves to go on !!!!
-cheers..

three years for one pepper? I though Manzanos were painful

IMO the lineage doesn't deserve to go on. The slow growth is undesirable.

The Spartans wouldn't have let it live.

I'd love to have one if you'd be willing to give up some seeds. I think it's pretty cool a natural bonsai. Thank you for sharing with us.
