Brown Berbere in 5 gal?

Phildeez

Is this plant too large for a 5 gallon pot?

I had one 5 gal pot left so I stopped by a local nursery with a good pepper selection. I had a choice between Ethiopian Brown Berbere, or Jwala Pepper (Indian Finger Hot). I chose the Ethiopian simply because the plants looked healthier and I was indifferent. Now I am kicking myself because the Jwala grows to 24"-36" while the Brown Berbere grows over 4 feet.

Would I be better off scrapping the Berbere and putting a Jwala in? My concern is that the EBB will overgrow the container and get root bound in a hurry, and from the looks of it a Jwala wont have that issue.

Thanks

-Phil
