| Was given one and would like to know the growing conditions. Can I keep it pruned to control it and still get peppers?

| I just started researching about the Pequin pepper (Capsicum annuum) and from what i have learned so far... it sounds like the plant like partialy shady the best. In the wild it usually flourishes along creek beds under trees. usually because the birds that feed on the peppers roost in trees and deposit the seeds under those trees. so the plant has eveolved to those conditions. I have seen the bushes used (and trimmed) as a hedge around a house before and it still provided plenty of peppers... but I'm sure the havest would have been larger if the plant was untoiuched. |

| Bird pepper can be either a piquin or a tepin. Lousy chile taxonomy. |
