      Oh that's awesome! Yeah, you might be in one of the perfect spots in TX for it to remain year after year. Mine remain small bushes because they die back each year (San Antonio).
      Thanks for watching (and sharing!),

    Cool video. I originally tried to germinate these with a wet paper towel and failed. Abuela said to let the pepper completely dry out then plant into shallow soil. I planted 8 seeds this way hoping one would work. After almost 4 weeks I was about to throw in the towel after checking everyday. Skipped a day and all 8 popped up at once. Just transplanted them and gonna give some away.

    Great video. I just tried some dried ones which were put in a blender. They were excellent, hot and spicy. I asked for some seeds and wow that had some spare. So I'm going to try growing them in Southern Australia.

      @@CoryAmesYT I'm in Phoenix AZ and I'm growing my plant indoors. I got the seeds to germinate with a heat mat and grow light with a 12 hr timer from 7am/7pm. My plant still seems to be growing and filling with more leaves but no sign of flowers yet.

    1:20 Note that inaturalist page seems to conflate Chile Piquins and the smaller+hotter Chile Petins. I've only seen Petins in the wild up here in Austin.

      My understanding is that those were the same thing, just different common names??
