Legit question: are my plants TOO big?

[u/paapsuave]

Have seen several posts like this one (https://www.reddit.com/r/HotPeppers/s/uuByKV8END) of a person bringing in their 4yr old plant that looks to be about 12"-18" tall.

All of my mature plants dwarf these sizes by a couple of feet and it makes me wonder if there are pros/cons of larger vs smaller pepper plants when we're talking about plant health and productivity.

All of my plants are healthy and producing. Just curious if I should change what I'm doing or keep growing monsters.

The plant you linked was actually cut down over the years for overwintering. You can see the older pruned branches if you zoom in. Yours are a decent size or small compared to a lot of others ive seen.

It all depends on how much of a harvest you want in the end
