The Thai Birds do make lovely compact plants. The Thai Dragons and the Thai
Orange peppers are quite a tall plant 3'+ and 2' diameter. The bird chiles
can even be potted in handing baskets 3 to a pot. Just don't let them dry
out. They are good on a drip system. They also make great Topiaries. I
have one in a large wreath shape and one that is braided and balled at the
top. There is a variegated leaf Texas chile that I have grown as topiaries
as well. Rosemary can be grown as bonsai quite successfully as well.
