I need some clarification on the temperature ranges I've read concerning
chiles and fruit production. Most sources state that if the daytime
temperature is above 90-95 F, the plants won't set fruit. But I've also read
that mulching to keep the roots cool will help with fruit production in hot
climates. Which is more important? The temperature of the roots or the
temperature of the plant? If its over 100 F but I keep the roots cool, will my
plants set peppers?
