Chili (Cabe) trees in Jakarta




A couple of months ago I noticed what I thought we weeds growing in my front garden, I very nearly ripped them out of the ground. They appeared next to each other right in the middle of the lawn.

They grew quickly, imagine my surprise when I realised that they were Chilli trees!




I do not know what type they are, not endemic to Java, I assume perhaps that they are left over kitchen scraps that were scattered or spilt in the garden.

Should I do anything special to help them grow?

I'm inclined to leave them be, since they have managed this far without my interference.
