This is my first year growing Fish. I have one plant, it is big and healthy looking. It started blooming around June along with my other peppers has dropped almost every blossom. So far I picked only one pod and there is maybe 3-4 pods on the plant right now, ithas probably 50 dropped blossoms. I don't know what it's problem is, its growing in the same conditions as my other peppers which don't have that problem.

im having the same problem with my bhut, naga, devils tongues and habenero

the habenero is the only one thats set fruit and it absolutely WILL NOT grow more than 2 pieces of fruit at a time...it just drops all the blossoms
the other above mentioned wont set any fruit at all

they are being grown in the same conditions as my roughly 50 other plants that are all thriving

it doesnt make sense does it

My Bhut was dropping blossoms like crazy early in the season but than about a month ago all of a sudden it started setting fruit and is now loaded with maybe 50 pods about ready to ripen. I don't know what happened, I didn't change anything and the weather has been pretty consistent this year. Maybe just plant maturity.

I grew it in 2004. It was fairly prolific for me. Ripened to solid red. I thought the skin was on the tough side.

I'm growing two, one in the ground and one in a 5-gal bucket. Neither one is exceptionally large, the bucket one is the size of the bucket below it and the inground one is slightly smaller. Both are loaded with peppers that set in late June and early July. We have had a mild summer

I've got one Fish going, and am pretty happy with it. It's around 18" tall, and has approx. 15 pods. It's in an area that gets no more than 3 hrs of direct sun per day, so I had low expectations. A few pods are fully ripe now, and most are about 1/2 way there. The pods are larger than I'd expected from reading on the web. I would say the plant foliage was a little slow to get going at the beginning, but otherwise, foliage and pod development was normal. The plant is very attractive with its variegated leaves, and I would have to say that the pods taste really, really good - very hot, and citrus-y

congratulations to all of you who have made pods. i'm hoping i can overwinter at least one plant and maybe get some pods later in the fall. last year i pulled it up and repotted....then it died, more sensitive than any other pepper i've brought inside. this year i might just bring it in in the existing pot and hope its not full of aphids. i will wash it off hard, but am more worried about what is in the soil as far as eggs....time will tell, and my wife won't complain due to its beauty--bob
