  1. I live in CA where it usually stays above freezing at night mid winter and have had peppers survive without trimming, some growth may die back but you can trim in the spring or leave it…I think the severe hacking you're doing is only necessary if transplanting, otherwise, the leaves provide some protection from the cold so it doesn't make sense to cut it back if you live in a warmer climate.

  2. I want to do this with tomatillo, Coban (a blueberry tomatillo, blue color)

    I have 3 in pots, 2 chimayo and a chiltepin. The chiltepin is less than a year old, but produced hundreds of chilis. The chimayo are the same, and a plus, they don't mind a touch of frost. Both are 3-1/2 years old and look like bonsai. right now, they're on the south side of the house where they get enough sun, but little hard wind.

    The rest are in the garden and this month, when it gets into the upper 30s at night they get mulched with coffee grounds a la Starbucks. That keeps the ground warm enough roots should survive the winter. those that do, their seeds will become plants. I tried to use a tent, but the sun burned them, even with translucent plastic.

  3. This year, for the first time, I winterized my peppers in pots. Although I fallow your direction to a T, the top branches are turning brown and the real cold climate is not here yet.. I doubt very much if I can keep them for the next 5 months however, if you have some tips on how I could solve the problem of the brown upper branches, I would appreciate your input very much. Thank you… !
