Also, how many does a banana pepper plant produce

normally I believe anywhere from 6-10 bell peppers will come from one plant as long as the conditions are right!
banana peppers are different a little smaller fruit so you would probably get around 20 + peppere!!!

I could be wrong though!

good luck

is a 4" pot too small for a window-ledge plant?

for what kind of pepper?

Yes, it is too small, esp. for a bell pepper or banana pepper which you're growing for food purposes.

As an ornamental, you would have some nice leaves on the plants, but in a 4" pot, there won't be enough of a root structure to balance a large plant.

Think of roots as almost equal to branches and leaves in volume and extent. It's not entirely accurate, but is a good image to help understand the space that roots need. John Jeavons (author of How to Grow More Vegetables...) has a small drawing whose caption is...

leaves are roots in the air / roots are leaves in the ground

John

well played, sir

My banana pepper plants got an average of 10 peppers per plant last year. This year I'm growing different varieties...

my jalapeno is in a 9" pot and is so far only producing 1 pepper but looks like more are on the way.
