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

favorite What's the tallest pepper variety you know of? 🌶

My Brainstrain plants were over 10 feet tall and likely would have been even taller/larger in a larger container, or in ground, if a person had really good natural soil.
 
Although not really tree-like, I have yellow rocoto plants in Dutch buckets with individual branches that are at least 12ft long. They are growing up about 6ft, drape over trellis rope, and grow back down to the ground.

Aren't baccatum varieties usually not very large? Thinking about brazilian wax starfish for instance...

F@#% that plant.If only there were more than 120 days of outside growing here. Literature says 15m in it's native region. Got to 25-30' up a sugar maple before microburst season hit.


To address the OP.... there are C.baccatums that have a very tall habit if you can support them. But if we are talking pure genetics then you have to look at Capsicum species with monopodial growth habits ie.,C.caatingae,C.rhomboideum(Venezuelan accession),C.parvifolium(not the fake one Jukka ripped everyone off with). These plants do not bifurcate and continue to grow one main stem. With all parameters the same in perfect conditions,there are no other species that can come close.
