Just an update...

My Pepper Tree is having the time of it's life in the grow box and has grown a very dense foliage. It is looking pretty good right now, although I wish more branches would develop; right now it looks good from the front and back, but it has an almost 2D appearance.

Matt, I was wondering if you had any practice w/ wiring one of these before your died? The branches feel very brittle (like a dry stick) and I am thinking it may be better off to leave these branches as is and concentrate on styling any new growth.

Thanks

BTW: I saw some 'pink peppercorns' at a store a while ago. They were expensive and after researching, I found out that they come from the pepper true (although they aren't technically peppercorns). Maybe I'll make some extra money by harvesting pink peppercorns (I think I could get 7 per season)
