Peppers, however, depending on the variety and the severity of the
winter, CAN come back! I have a Chile petin right now out in the main
garden bed that is over 4 years old and it's huge. The plant looks dead
in the winter, but I leave it there and it re-sprouts lots of leaves and
my cackatoo deeply appreciates the hundreds of pea-sized fruit it
produces every year.


I've found that I get much more vigorous growth (and more fruit) if I
prune my peppers sharply every spring, just as they're starting to
show signs of new growth.
