Following...want to see how Datil's do in the high heat and low humidity you have there. GL!
They stopped producing for me last year around July and didn't start again until late Sept. Mine had about 6 hours of sun morning to @1-2pm. My buddy grew his in only morning sun (eastern exposure) and they never stopped producing.


Are you going to shade them?

 

[Smitty]

Man what a day (13hrs)@work but still managed to get home and put 40 babys in the dirt just before bed man Im tired lol...GN

 

[spysee]

Nice man! The pepper I'm looking forward to the most this year is Datils. They should grow good too, I hope, since I'm about 25 minutes from where they originate.

You should strip the lower leaves and stick that limb in some water. It might root.
