Why is it tied up? Will it chase me off the lawn if I come over?

pepperdan · Sep 15, 2013

no I trained it like a bonsai at first, and outside the right-side is a bit top heavy, the wind will knock it over

How much can it curl?

Sarg3 · Sep 15, 2013

Some threads are just too awesome to die. Anybody else have plans for trees that'll DOMINATE this thread in 2014?

Noah Yates · Feb 20, 2014

I wish...

Arnold would be proud of that plant... it looks pretty pumped up.

Interesting thread! I have a plant with a pretty big trunk, actually I had 5, but only overwintered one. Will take a pic tonight.

This guy will be a year old in April!

Wow. That's pretty big for a 10 month old. Good work! Are you able to keep it growing all year long?
I looked at the pic I posted of my Anaheim OW (post 31, I believe), and was really surprised at how much it has grown since I took that pic. I'll get an updated pic up later today.

edit: What variety is that, Fil?

mememe · Feb 21, 2014

you could try to grow a clump of peppers from seed and train them.

Bumping this thread because awesome

and I'm sure a lot of you have some overwinters that are breaking the limits right now! Post 'em if you got 'em!

sp33d · Jun 18, 2014

Oh wow..some of these trunks are amazing and huge!!!!

SavinaRed · Jun 18, 2014

You guys have inspired me to grow a wide trunk on one of my pepper plants this year, wish me luck

Helvete · Jun 18, 2014

I've already got a 4 month old Fatalii that got the crap topped out of it that is absolutely nuts right now in a 20 inch pot. I also have one (also Fatalii) that I did nothing to that's growing in Ocean Forest that's pushing it.

Noah Yates · Jun 19, 2014

None of my over-winters made it... but I will guarantee you I will still have some boababesque trunks by October!!!!
