I thought it was a bit too late, but my first Peppadew is almost ripe.

Congratulations  :icon_cheers:. I brought my 6ft tall straggly plant, which has about 12 fruit on it, indoors from the GH a couple of weeks ago in the hope that the green fruit would ripen. (I want to save seed.)The leaves are slowly fluttering to the floor each day, but the chillies themselves remain stubbornly green. A couple of years ago I did the same thing and I was eventually rewarded around the end of November with bright red 'cherries', so I'll persevere for a while. As I've said before I love them raw, deseeded and filled with cream cheese - yum!

I have never heard of a Peppadew before. Can they be grown from seed?

Thanks :)
