It is from the flowers that the fruit comes. So if you remove the flowers you are removing the fruit!

Hi,
All of these can be grown in containers. I grow most of these in patio boxes only 6 inches deep. If the pepper plant you are asking about is a cayenne, then yes they get an area of black tint at each branch base, not to worry.
I'm not sure what you mean by "picking off" the flowers, but all I do with my cayennes and jalapenos is to feed them with Miracle Gro once every 2 weeks and if they are not setting fruit well I spray them with a mix of epsom salts and water. Just mix 1 tsp epsom salts with one quart water in a mister bottle and spray it on the foliage misting lightly.
