[CH] Non-fruiting habaneros

Last summer was the first time I planted habaneros. Mind you, I can get
almost anything to grow here in the San Fernando Valley; but the
habaneros grew green and bushy, had tons of flowers......but no fruit
until about September, and then they really went to town, becoming
absolutely festooned by gorgeous orange fruit.
Beats me, but it could be they are more day-length dependent than
heat-dependent on setting fruit. El Grande knows, we had enough
100-degree plus days last summer, so it cannot have had anything to do
with the heat. But they started fruiting in September and kept it up
until late November. Any other ideas?
