Chile De Arbol is a Mexican pepper variety
That is known for its great flavor and hot, small chillies
Chile De Arbol start out as all green peppers
And when they mature, they turn into a red color
This chilli pepper can be used both as fresh, chopped
in a lot of dishes
And it can also be used as a dried powder
This pepper is slightly related to the Cayenne Pepper
Its heat is about the same
However I found that due to the size of these peppers
They actually seem to be a little hotter than Cayenne Peppers
So let's go ahead and do our first harvest
As you can see these are small chilli peppers
However don't let the size make you think
That its not a productive plant
This plant is very prolific
It has a large number of peppers by the end of the growing season
Now you might start off with less peppers
However as the plant grows bigger
And remember that this is a very bushy plant
I have not pruned this plant at all
It is just naturally very bushy
And produces a lot of peppers throughout the growing season
Now the growing tips for Chile De Arbol
Is pretty much like any other Chilli Pepper
They need to have constant moisture throughout the growing season
They need to be fertilized well
Remember that peppers and tomatoes are heavy feeders
So you need to feed them with a nice, balanced fertilizer
Throughout the growing season
And just like any other pepper This also loves Epsom Salt
So regularly bathe your peppers
With Epsom salt solution
Every month or you can even do it at about month and a half
During the growing season
Now some of you had asked me about how much Epsom salt Do I mix
Or how do you efficiently use Epsom salt
So this is what I do
I put about 2 tbsp of Epsom salt in my watering can which is 2 gallons
And I nicely drench the plant
All the way down to the roots
And just like with any other pepper plant
As long as you keep harvesting your peppers
The plant is going to keep producing more and more peppers
Now with Chile De Arbol
I noticed that the peppers are formed in clusters
So you're going to have a lot of peppers
Always available for you to harvest
SO I encourage you to keep harvesting
You can see just in a few days I've had a lot of peppers grow
On this plant again
So as long as you keep harvesting The plant will keep producing
And all peppers are perennial
Including this one
And the way this plant is growing
I would really like to grow this for at least another season
So I will let you know how that goes
I'm going to let this sit thru the winter season
And on to the next year
So let's now look at a mega harvest
This is harvesting all the peppers from this Chile De Arbol
Pepper plant
As you can see
You will have a lot of peppers at any given time
And I hope you liked this video
I'll see you again soon
Enjoy the harvest and Happy Gardening!
