will capsicum grow from a cutting?

Yes it will. I grow several varieties of capsicum and chilli, and grow new plants from cuttings in Brisbane. You'll need a greenhouse to do this, but if you don't have one, put the cuttings in a large plastic box and that'll work just fine.

I haven't tried but wouldn't think so. Simply because a cutting would have to come from a shoot. Capsicum don't produce shoots until they are preparing to fruit. I think you will hinder your total yield. Keep us posted if you try.
