Nice pics Chris, have you been having any problems with the maggot flies on the pubes? They really seem to like the pubescens. i have had my prize plant under the tulle so they do not mess it up.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Dale, not yet, BUT the pods I picked are from potted plants. THe maggots usually don't attack them. Inground Pubescens are a huge target. I had a gt yellow manzano spit out TONS of pods last year. I was in awe. Well, the pepper maggots were too and ate 95% of the pods. I was PISSED!!! I'll let you know how things go this year. I'm guessing they'll be back for dinner. 
Very nice pics!! I am going to put my 7 back into a pot and keep it there.
It ain't over yet.

Great pics of the flowers, How many different C. Pubescens are you growing Chris?

Chris, are you getting any pods from the Papa Joe's pube yet. That is the one that i am getting the best results from this year. If so show me a pic.
Yes, it's doing the best for me too Dale. I'll try to take pics soon. There is one other plant that is massive so far called Rocoto Inca. It's a very interesting one that had very large pods when another grew it. I got it from a German friend.

Just how big are my manzano's going to get? They don't seem to care that there is pods on! One is almost 5 feet tall...
Couple ripe pods today.
