Yeah...pick the chiles....then it will no longer "bend"
Youll be fine, just leave it there and keep eating the fruit. They don't need a dormacy period and it should servive the SoCal winters. I know mine did.

Totally not fair! I love pequins! The one I have freezes back to the ground but come back again each year. I treat my pequin like a rose bush, and trim it to a few inches high in the winter, and am rewarded with tons of fresh green growth that comes back larger than ever.
Think you could humor us with some current pics? Or how bout a pic of it with a person standing next to it for size reference? That thing is awe inspiring, especially the last pic w/ the sea of peppers.

my 5-6 year od Habanero Arbol plant.
You can see in some of the pics where I had to trim it down about 3 ft. last fall.

Pods from the Habanero Arbol.
A couple month old babies
Big yellow referes to the big yellow Manzano the seeds came from,someone wanted to see some pods off the tree and asked if I saved the seeds from the big yellow.So I took a pic....
The tree fruits 3-4 times a year.It likes cold weather,drops leaves in over 90 degree heat but keeps the pods growing.Pods are light green to yellow (with purple or totally purple with lots of sun) then orange when ripe.
Fruits in spring,early fall and around mid Dec.I get different amounts of pods each season it fruits.Best harvest in spring and winter (3-5 gal.)fall only puts out 2-3 gal. of pods because it's still too hot when it flowered in late Aug. early Sept.Pods are pretty hot.Seeds came from Mexico.
It looks to be an Annuum but it's growing habits make me think it has some Baccatum in it.
It's not been fazed by a couple nights to a week of mid 30 degree temps at night in the winter.

I know the seeds were from this yellow Manzano.
The seeds were only in the picture because when I took the picture someone wanted to know if I saved the seeds from a yellow Manzano I had.
They have nothing to do with the Tree Habanero pods.Sorry for the confusion.
A couple yellow Manzano plants.
A red Rocoto from a Peru Market.

wow that peruvian red is fantastic.
Can you slice it open and take a photo?
Looks like it has some thick flesh.

Smokemaster, welcome from Minnesota. Good to see you over here as well as GW. These are great people with lots of knowledge.
Thanks for the welcome.
I've been lurking here for a long time.I just decided to sign up the other day.
That Red Rocoto pic was from last March.
My plants have buds on them now.If I get some decent pods I'll post them latter.On the bush cut open etc.
That pic was taken when I got the pod.It was smuggled in with others for me by a friend.It was really hot even for a Rocoto.From a market in Peru.
