how tall will sweet and jalapeno peppers grow?
« on: May 12, 2013, 11:14 »
I'm planning to grow peppers (sweet and jalapeno) in the polly tunnel, but not sure how tall they'll grow. i have looked in the catalogue and they don't say the height.

i was planning to grow them up strings but would they be able to grow in a bush and produce the same fruit?

thanks all

That's remiss of them. Have a google and you'll find the answer I'm sure. If you're putting strings up and your chilli or pepper turns out to be a 6" high variety you'll kick yourself  :D

Also, have you scoured the seed packet for the info?

I don't think you really need much support if any for jalapeno. They will get to about 2 feet in a single season and they are very sturdy plant.

Sweet peppers depending on how large the fruit are may need some additional help, When i grew them a few years back they had a tendency to topple or become bent (esp in windy weather).

my dad has a trade account with moles, it seems like the catalogue assumes your a farmer and know what your doing. lol. being trade packs they come in plain packets with just name and quantity on.

if they aren't going to grow any higher than say 2- 3 foot could I plant them in front of my tomatoes. as they're being planted in a tunnel there lots of un used space in front of the tomatoes.

thanks for the replies
