I got this plant last spring (very tiny) and transplanted it this spring. So far, it stayed outdoors without any problem. The gardener who sold this told me Sichuan pepper can survive to -20°C.That was my first impression too; but then, some of the eggplants I've grow were thornier than that - and litchi tomato thorns are the worst. They volunteered this year among the tomatillo volunteers, and both DD & me as we were cleaning those out.
Those pepper plants look attractive. I'm assuming they are greenhouse grown?
In general, it's a pretty low maintenance plant. I dethroned the lower part of the plant, removed all lower stems, and pruned it as the open form (all stems that might cross each other were removed). This should be helpful for reducing the chance that it 'bites' me.
