health Should BOO be brought inside (California)

[Rymerpt]

Hello wonderful pepper people. I have a ghost pepper plant that I bought from a nursery a bit late in the season. He has grown quite nicely and gave me two big peppers. He , before it started getting pretty cold, started to push out a few more peppers.
QUESTION: I live in Sacramento and have been watching the weather rather closely. When it approaches freezing I move him to under the car port. He still is very much alive, but seems a bit weathered (no pun) . Will he survive under my said routine? Or should I trim him up and bring him inside?


My blog RYMERPT 2022 GLOG
has a few decent pictures of before he started looking kinda bad. His name is BOO.

THANKS

Notice the webber. That's were I put him on those freeze days. He still gets sun, but not the frost from above.

Here are a couple pics I just took. He seems almost domant:

I personally would definitely take it inside when temperature starts flirting with freeze, and would also cut it back.

His orginal V is just about at ground level.

The babies (everyone is now in the library) just asked me if I could fashion them a swing between BOO's main stocks. I told them to give BOO a chance to adjust to his new home. Both BOO and BOO's baby are rejoicing and singing Chrismas carols because they will all be together for Christmas.
