i have grown some chillies, hot hot hot variety by thomson & morgan. the plants have produced a heck of a lot of chillies. my problem is that the plants are 6 feet tall and are taking up too much room. does anyone know of a chillie plant that only grows about 2 feet maximum.
HAVE A SPARE PACKET OF HOT PEPPER CARIBBEAN BLEND, IT DOSN'T GIVE A SIZE OF PLANT ON THE PACKET.
IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THEM OUT (HAVE GOOGLED BUT NO LUCK) AND WANT THEM YOU ARE WELCOME TO TRY THEM.
PM ME
This year, I have grown jalapeno, fresno, red cherry and tepin. None of the plants have grown to more than about 18 inches to 2 foot tall - would you like to try any of those?
My auroras, ornamental and very hot, have been the winners in terms of looks and economy of size: none above 2 ft. Prob got a few seeds to spare. PM me if interested.
I'm growing Fresno & Hungarian Wax, neither more than a couple of feet. My catalogue (Tuckers) says that the Hungarian Wax is green, then yellow. Well, mine have been both, and are now turning a nice, warm orange. Have I left them too long, or is that normal ? Also, I noticed a blemish on one of the fruits, yesterday, cut it open and found I'd been visited by a small caterpillar - that's what it looked like anyway. Anyone know what it is ?

Quite normal. They can be harvested at any time, the more orange in them the greater the nutritional benefit to you (peppers are vastly superior providers of vitamin C than oranges for instance).

The eventual size would be very dependent upon the conditions they were grown under. Different weather conditions in the future, especially the amount of heat, may produce a considerably smaller plant. Alternatively you could start the plants later so that they don't have such a long growing season (assuming you may have too many actual chillies now as less fruit will probably be produced). Restricting applications of N will also produce smaller plants.
