Saw this on FB. I can’t believe the size they get. Poster said tallest ones are 5 meters.

    They likely are hybrids. Peppers display a moderate amount of hybrid vigor. A well designed cross does produce more.

    The height is nothing special. Even the varieties you get in the seed packets at the grocery store can get that big under the right conditions.

      Yeah I don’t like my chili plants to get too tall. I like them bushy and compact. Usually the varieties we get in garden centers are like that. But every time I try to grow the seeds from grocery store, they are all tall and lanky.
