INFO - TOPPING PEPPERS

Snip the top off (suggested when it starts to form a Y) to encourage lateral rather than vertical growth. Plant's energy will start to go to lateral growth and new side shoots rather than getting tall.  Also take off excess leaves in such a way to get sunlight and air flow to all remaining leaves.


Very aggressive pruning with good results.


Not recommended to top it if it is a naturally compact plant.
