I’m wondering if I should pick the flowers off of my cayanne pepper plant. It’s been growing for about a month and a half and I topped it a for bushy growth so that’s why it’s shorter. Is it old or big enough to support fruit? Thanks!

Welcome @Annabeleziolise

Do you intend to produce cayenne peppers off this plant?

If so, leave the flowers alone and with pollination they will become cayenne peppers.
