I live in Southwest LV

I planted the pepper tree late last fall,
without a water system (that's why I got in trouble)
but now I have a Drip system installed.

I wanted to keep the tree, because it's alive,
and I'm really not concerned about looks
(it's in the back-yard)

I thought there might be something "standard"
done in this situation -- short of replacing it.
But, maybe I'll experiment, by cutting
some of the dead/top off until it look reasonable.

thanks
