Hi folks -thought I would update you all on this topic. The tree is great- still going strong and I have now roughly 14-15 jalopeno chillies on it- about 50% red and 50% green. Am very impressed with it and plan to grow some habeneros from seed next. It stayed indoors as the temps and wind would kill outside even if the possums don't first. The kitchen window seems to be a good spot so I am looking forward to trying more varieties.
Thanks for all your help and advice and now have to decide what I will do them all- drying or pickling or maybe a sauce?
