Come December, you can prune the plants back quite severely, and next
year, your plants will get off to a flying start, and you'll start
getting peppers much sooner in the year than from fresh plants. I have
some that are two years old and they're getting quite woody and
sturdy. It'll be interesting to see how many years a chilli pepper
plant can keep going. I'm currently experimenting with keeping some
bellpepper plants indoors over the winter, to see how well they'll
produce bellpeppers for a second (or third or fourth) season, regards

I have removed 3 chilli plants from my greenhouse and potted them to bring
into the house. They are around 5 feet tall and so take up a lot of room.
Should I/can I prune them in any way? If so, how? Any other things I should
or shouldn't do to them?
Thanks
