I got this Smokin Ed Curry’s Carolina Reaper plant at a local nursery a few months back. I live in North Eastern Georgia, close to South Carolina where the plants are from. As you may know, this has been an incredibly hot summer. This heat, combined with Georgia clay, seems to have created ideal growing conditions for the plant. My girlfriend has watered them consistently. I soon came to notice our plant was getting large and we had an insane amount of pepper pods forming, which was starting to weigh down the branches. I researched how many pods to expect from a typical plant and have heard many things. Some sources say 15-20, 30, even up to 50 per year. For size I have heard 3-5 feet wide. My plant is 5’7” wide and a lot of peppers are starting to turn red now. I have harvested about 8-10 already and have over 100 still growing and new pods every day. Has anyone had a similar experience growing these or is this out of the ordinary??

World record reaper plant??

    Looks way more like ghost peppers and not reapers

    Those are some nice looking pods but definitely not reapers. I think ghost peppers.

    Nevertheless, delicious peppers.
