Yes, the wild Texas Bird Peppers will grow for years. I had one finally die last year that I planted in 2000. I usually get about three to five years out of them. They are late to start growing again in the spring. When you notice new growth prune it back about 10% if you need to control its size. Also trim off any limbs that are brittle.
