Wow! That's terrific - both the bonsai peppers themselves, and your excellent photo essay!

How many years will they live?

Josh

Hmm.. They can live for decades if taken good care of!

They might just lose their vigor to produce plenty of pods, but in this case it doesn't matter!

When should the pepper plant be pruned?

Josh

Hi Fatlaii, I visited the web site to buy the Chile seeds, Wow! Big variety... Can you tell me what seeds are best? Thanks !!!

Hello!
'Tis the Season for digging up and/or re-potting our favorite chiles for the Winter!
Check out Fatalii's guide, and see how it's grown. Lots of new pics and tips for Bonchi.

Don't forget the fatalii site has forums of it's own as well.

This is fantastic!
I manage a community garden, and I have always been fascinated with how beautiful pepper plants are with their woody bases. I always feel awful ripping them up each season. Thanks for the alternative!
