MWH. I thought it was a bit severe which is why I said it was A way.

Shishito peppers are indeterminate. In warm climates like Mexico peppers just keep on growing until they are bushes, or disease or insects get them. It is possible to protect them and grow them again next year if you have a warm greenhouse to store them in!

My peppers die at the end of the season. I prune them above the 3rd or 4th branching.

For balance try this you tube! I would not wait until they were that tall...I might cut a bit higher! ( Maybe I just enjoy watching Veronica gardening! )

Thanks Pete that makes more sense to me. I have 6 Shishito’s. two of the plants are doubles. I’ll try that technique with 2 of them just as an experiment.
