Pepper Plants Not Producing: Rabbits, Hybrid Issues, Fertilizer

Some plants fruit, others don't—same bed. Possible causes:

• Rabbits clipping buds (check for clean 45° cuts).
• Hybrid variability (some plants sterile).
• High-nitrogen fertilizer favoring leaves.

Action

• Fence or repellent for rabbits.
• Switch to high-P fertilizer.
• Mark non-producers; replace next year with open-pollinated varieties.
