Dave,
I wanted you & the list to know about a success story with a seed of yours I
started a few years ago. Below you'll find some pictures of a Chiletepin
plant as it "springs" back to life once again this year. I actually started
it in '01 and it has survived the last 2 winters in my cellar. It drops
every single leaf & looks "dead as a door nail" until the spring sunshine,
which there hasn't been much of this year, brings it back to life. It's the
only pepper plant to do this for 2 winters up here in the cold tundra of the
NorthEast.
