Interesting! A 10 year old chilli plant is of interest in its own right even if it isn't productive!

@JimmyB @RedRobyn @phil55494 on the general topic... have you heard the term "Bonchi"? It's the practice (art? insanity?) of maintaining a chilli plant as a bonsai.

@JimmyB Oh, it's being very productive. Not sure how the flavour stacks up for a true aficionado, but my Afghani friend was very appreciative when I gave her a handful. I heard it slowed down a lot, but got repotted and had a good prune and did much better the last 2 summers. @phil55494 @yvan
