Carolina Reaper

[sfeagan]

Has anyone ever made a bonsai with a Carolina Reaper?

I had a huge one in the garden this summer and considered it but, I don't want anymore indoor winter stuff.

Usually peppers are bianual or very short lived perennials, although there are some more long lived arbustive species that make woody trunks

I used to do Bon-chi...

Just a struggle, as Mark said, taking up “better-spent” indoor room.

And, as Arnold said, the species (even ‘exotic’ ones) I have access too are quite short-lived... I can “baby” 3(ish) years out of them.. but the last 6 months is ugly..

Find a Pepper TREE.. I forget the species.. but there are a couple native to central America.. I’ve seem “landscape” specimens that the owners CLAIM were 15-20 years old.

I DO grow a variety of Chile’s.. every year, though.. always will.

The longest I ever kept any pepper plant alive is 12 years in tropical climates. Once the trunk get woody the ability to back up slowly regress until the tree is no longer healthy.

Grabbed this from the clearance area. I thought I had some sort of “lights” azalea. Later found it to be a pepper tree/shrub.

Capsicum pubescens is the one that can live up to 15 years and get a woody trunk
