Default 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.

Salt that means 8 feet in our neck of the woods.

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.

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

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.

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.
