| I planted seeds from a wild plant which I believe to be chile pequin. Many germinated in about 2 weeks. If they are pequin can I expect them to bear fruit by this October or will the plants have to be wintered over indoors?

| Puiquin make fruit in 60-90 days from small plants. |

| LOL paceyswitters! I too find speed reading a constant source of entertainment. Thanks, Willard. That is very encouraging. Jim |
|
| Pequin and chiltepin produce like crazy. My overwintered tepin is already producing like wild!! |
|
| Did your tepin produce on the first season very much, Reyna? I am reading more and more that they are mainly productive as annuals and take more than a season to produce ripe fruit. |
|
| Now I'm less encouraged. The site linked by Willard says, "120 days or more from transplants, better yields the second year", which is in line with a couple of the previous posts. Looks like it will be a close call to get ripe fruit in one growing season. Jim |
