> Mark,
> There's a story that Datils grow best only around St. Augustine, but the
Chilewoman Susan Byers and Firefighter Jim Campbell have good luck with them
in Indiana.  I tried them last year, from Susan's plants, and got a total of
4 pods from four plants.  I do love these things just the same.

I have grown them quite successfully for 3 years straight in Central
Illinois.  Moderately tall and bushy plants that are loaded with chiles.
They do very well with no shade and hot, dry summers.
