Edit: I just looked at the last few posts on this thread... particularly the colorful eye-feast of red fruit and purple-starred white flowers (post#887). Breathtaking. Somehow, these bright colors even make the deep green fruit-stems look like they're in a still photograph of objects in eager motion. Thank you, Prodigal Son.
Although i intended to post my own question, i'd have to be as gauche as a drunken oaf at a wedding party if i didn't backtrack a bit... and appreciate some of the posts made lately on this thread.

It is early and I haven't tasted any peppers yet, but the CGN 24360 pepper is an amazing little plant. I have a few of them in small pots and they are doing very well. The plant is maybe a foot tall and even though it is only June, there are several pods that have set and tons of buds/flowers - I stopped counting at 60. According to pepperlover.com, it produces tiny yellow pods but mine are still only green at this point. One of its best characteristics is that it is tough as nails. It didn't droop when being transplanted, when the cat flipped the pot over, nothing broke off and it just keeps growing. It grows dark and healthy, produces buds and flowers like none other this year and hasn't dropped any flowers yet.
CGN 24360 is really compact and would do great for somebody in an apartment or with limited space. I imagine when the small yellow pods are ripe on the plant it will be decorative as well since it isn't lanky or weedy.
Definitely one of my new favorites. If anyone recalls the taste of the pods, I would be curious what they're like since I anticipate dealing with a lot of them soon...
Does anyone have more information on this variety? Pros and cons of growing CGN 24360 indoors, under artificial light, are one of my fallback strategies for producing fruit this year. Any data anyone offers could really help.
I'm a pepper newbie, with about 4 decades of hobby gardening, indoors and out. Any offhand observation, any highbrow text references appreciated. Any data.
Thanks.
