Title: do you pinch off the tops of chilli plants.....?
Post by: pakaba on May 11, 2006, 12:47:26
......I mine are about 6/7 inches tall with the same number of pairs of true leaves, but they show no sign of bushing out.   I wanted to know before i take a tray to the school fete tommorrow for them to sell.

thanks

Never pinched mine out. They tend to bush out on their own?

I'll just leave them then.  Seems  it doesn't mater either way so it'll be less work for me to leave them.

thanks

Pakaba, I've never picked the tops out and they always seem to bush out fine. Of the ten in my greenhouse (about 9 inches tall) there are two which compared to the others are on the spindly side.
