2 Pepper Plant Sizes?
 
I have been researching pepper plant sizes (Especially how tall they grow) and I haven't found much info on these two:

Peppadew
Thai Chili Large

Would any of you know how tall/big these two pepper varieties get?

Salt... I found a couple of old posts from another site where Drew51 and another person said their Peppadew got about 5 feet tall.

The Thai Chili Large.. Places say about 3 feet, which is about what my plant got too.

Hope that helps. : )

Thank you Star :)

Those two varieties will get planted out in the main garden.

Out of curiosity did you make pickled peppadew's from your peppers?

P.S. Your welcome, glad to be of help!

5 foot wide! I have two plants. According to Worth's math - that's 8' tall x 8' wide each...I need a bigger garden. :lol:

No, they were thick fleshed and sweet, I just ate them, or cut and sauteed for omlettes.

:lol: Don't we all. If you run out of room, try casually intermingling your plants on to the neighbors property. Just make sure you collect the harvest before they do. ;):D

The Peppadew is a Baccatum, so it can get tall and lanky. I've grown it a few times, and it grew to about four feet tall. I use tomato cages on my peppers, so it kinda keeps them in check. Without the cage, my guess is it could easily sprawl to five feet wide, or more.

I haven't grown the Thai Chile Large, so can't help there.
