I have found that with chillies and capsicum (and paprika) that I can cut them back in winter and get a second year out of them. They seem to be more productive in the second year. I have 2 capsicum that I have cut back to see if I can get a third year from them. Has anyone tried this? My chillie is about 5 years old and paprika is into it's 3rd year.
I have done this with both chillies and my capsicums. I have done 3 years with one capsicum and providing they are fed well will produce another crop. I have not gone beyond this though. As for my chilli plant... well, it's into it's 5th year also and cropping well.

I would like to get some seeds for litle red sweet round shaped chillies/ capsicums pickling and then stuffing with cheese. Supermarkets have them for about $38.00 a kg.
The are red in colour.
