I can't keep up with the number of peppers from this one plant

Our hat pepper "tree" is huge. Planted it in a wire tomato cage after having a huge, sprawling plant last year. Next year I'll either use a sturdier cage or a strong stake right from the beginning.
So many peppers that started ripening in mid August. Beautiful plant with green leaves and all of the hat/bell shaped red peppers.
