Charlie, set your chiltepin plant on the floor, just inside a window. It
will stretch up to the sun, you keep trimming off lower branches, etc.,
then you have a chiltepin tree.I had one for eight years, suffered some bad
health and DH forgot to water the tree in the greenhouse, so I lost it.
Sob. I'll start another one. Actually it was a tepin instead of the wild
chiltepin, but I am trying to germinate the latter at the moment as well.

You'll find a dazzling array of varieties at www.chileplants.com. They're
renowned for the quality of their plants and the packing containers they
send. Margaret L
