Someone once posted a diagram, or link to a diagram showing different pruning methods. I believe one had 2 branches coming out from the stem and one four branches emanating from the stem. I also think one was called something like the "danish method"? Anyone have this link? I thought I had saved it but I can't find it I've seen pics of people's pepper plants here where they immediately start branching out only an inch or so from the dirt. I would like to try this sometime next season w/ a couple of pepper plants.
