I bought a chilli plant, very small, and it grew into a lovely plant, heaps and heaps of chilis.
My question, will it flower again each year and produce new fruit each year?
Or do I throw it away, and plant a new one?
I try to take my chillie plants through the winter by protecting from frost and the ones that survive do really well, better than new plants, so I would try to keepit going

i have a jelopeno plant that is 5 years old (in a large pot ) It still produces chillies ..loads of them
Its a small tree if you google it. produces mostly smaller fruit but . it does yield a few large ones ( probably more then a younger plant will ) pruning it back, sometimes pulling off the new buds, will transfer the energy back into the plant.
of course using the right fertilizer, minerals and Nutrients will also help the plant survive
overwintering looks like its dead. But it is survivable if done right
