From Green To Ripe Color

9 years ago

For tomatoes there is a timeline that shows it take about 40 to 52 days from bud to ripe fruit.

Is there a similar timeline about hot peppers?
I am basically interested in Habanero and Manzano. My plants have lots of green pods at various stage. How long will it take for them to get the ripe color ?
I should also point out that the weather is getting cooler and it is not like summer here anymore.

Thanks for your feedback.

My Manzanos seemed to take two months to go from green to orange.....one of the longest waits I've ever had.

Thanks Josh
So peppers are really slow turtles compared to tomatoes. As I mentioned , a beefsteak tomato takes about 50 days from a fat bud to a fat ripe tomato. :-)

Any ways, My manzanos have some real big fat green pods and still setting more. Same goes with the Habs and Lemon Drops. Chinese 5-C is turning from purple to pale white and then orange.That one is ok to me. So far it seems we are going to have a nice September.
