Does pruning the flowers on young pepper plants encourage them to grow faster or taller? I have some bell pepper plants that started producing fruits when the plants were only 10 inches tall. I was concerned the plants would be stunted and not sturdy enough to bear full-sized peppers, so I pruned the young fruits and a number of the flower buds until the plant grew larger. Does this make any difference?
