We have a one year old serrano that's been happy that we grew from seed. My wife cheated this year and bought another serrano and a habanero. The serrano is cranking out peppers, and the habanero is producing but the habanero are not yet ripe. We have them in large pots and we have adjusted their location to optimal sun. We've been eating a few per day, and sharing serranos with anyone who likes peppers. Location: Texas coast
Those mature plants are great, my dad has one that's almost 2 years old and it just cranks out pequin, always get a zip lock baggie full.
We found out that the plants die at about 3 years even with optimal care, sohe may want to start additional plants now.
I will let him know, and I'll be sure to get some seeds to start my own as well. Thank you.
