overwintering Overwintering Scorpion Pepper, advice needed

[Laheat]

Hi All, 
 
This is my first year overwintering. I've done most of my SRP's which was fairly straight forward since they have several branches low on the stalk. The Scorpion plants only have a handful and they are more spread out I'm just not sure how far down to cut them, has anyone overwintered theirs and can make a suggestion ? 
 
Thanks
 
PS When you guys take the overwintered stuff out and start feeding them ? I'm in S. Cal so our season temps are not usually freezing.

So are you overwintering outside/in ground?

They will be downsized into to 1-2 gallon pots outside and protected from direct rain.

I've overwintered plants without cutting them and let nature decide what to trim as the stems died/turned brown I would cut the dead sections off and in the spring Mother Nature did her thing with regrowth....
