The plants were pruned when they were small. I cut the main stem off just below the first fork. I would say the pruned plants are several weeks behind because they had to grow new main stems from the leaf nodes left below the pruning cut. The pruned plants are now about half as tall as the plants that were not pruned. They are now setting fruit while I have already picked some ripe peppers off the un-pruned plants. I will post more about this experiment as the season continues.
