Malagueta in Brazil = HUGE plant!

Hi,

Here are some pics of my brother's malagueta plant growing in my father's farm in Brazil:

Nice plant, isn't it? And yes, it is only one plant!

BTW, that is my chile forum in Portuguese, if anyone here speaks it

Very impressive indeed! The soil must be ideal for the plant. Not to speak about the sun there in Brazil

I'm planning to plant few "semi-wild" C. frutescens to the ground next summer. I guess they wont grow nearly as huge as your  brothers Malagueta though

Yes, it's really an amazing plant! I really wish I could get something nearly as beautiful here in Finland, without spending a fortune in lighting and heating ;-)

The soil where that plant is was actually not so good.  It was not producing many pods, but then they added chicken manure to it and the planted started exploding in flowers immediately! This is the result now!

Really really nice and big plant.

Thanks Luca, for giving me something to dream about today!

Obrigado! (hope I spelled that right)
