Climate and soil requirement

Pepper can be grown in soil that is neither too dry nor susceptible to flooding, moist, well-drained, and rich in organic matter,It do not do well over an altitude of 900 m (3,000 ft) above sea level. Plant should tied up to neighbouring trees or climbing frames at distances of about 2 m apart, trees with rough bark are favoured over those with smooth bark, as the pepper plants climb rough bark more readily. The roots are covered in leaf mulch and manure, and the shoots are trimmed twice a year. On dry soils, the young plants require watering every other day during the dry season for the first three years. The plants bear fruit from the fourth or fifth year, and then typically for seven years.
