I put this together for a post on another group and thought it would be
of interest here. Most of the info came from our archives, but now it's
all nicely organized and tabulated:

Additons and corrections are welcomed.

Days to fruiting is a guide only. Many factors such as climate, soil,
transplant shock can influence fruiting. (My experience in a cool
climate is that my chilies always take at least 30 days longer than
forecast.)

You can probably pick green fruit for most types in 70 days or so. Of
course, some may take 90-110 days, and it will be longer for ripe
(red/yellow/brown/purple) peppers, maybe up to 130 days.
