Wow!! I'd like to see that myself!!
My bell pepper plants are approx two feet tall and that's after a regimented program of fertilizer and watering after being planted May 11th. I do, however have five peppers growing on one and four on the other. Julia |

Yeah, are these a different kind of pepper or do they just grow like that in your area. The ho and sweet peppers I grow seem to top out at about 3 ft.

I always prune or top my pepper plants. Either when they are about 6 weeks and at times when they are about 10 weeks. They branch out better and put out more flowers. However if your in a short growing season it does delay growth until the plant recovers. But I don't have real tall plants. They are shorter and wider. A pepper is like any other plant. If you pinch it out it will put out more lateral branches.
