The second form of pruning should occur after the bloom period when the fruit development process is just beginning. Removing stems that do not contribute to the plant's main structure, or any leaves that appear wilted, will make your Peppers better-suited to supporting heavy fruits later in the season.
During the early part of the season, you should use your pruning cuts to create the strongest form for your Peppers. Make your pruning cut as close to the larger stem as you can, to remove the smaller stem entirely and prevent it from regrowing. Whether you are performing early-season, or late season pruning, you should follow each stem you intend to remove back to where it meets a larger stem or the main stem. The best tool to use to prune your Peppers is a pair of clean and sharp hand-held pruning shears. As such, you should use caution when you prune, lest you cause unintended damage to otherwise healthy stems. Peppers tends to be relatively delicate plants compared to other fruit-bearing species.
