| If it's newly planted then probably cut it off. On an established plant you could stake it up either just through harvest or until it stiffens up. I'd rather have it taller for easier harvest and cut off the small wood down low. Even on newly planted you could stake it up. In that case I'd remove most of the fruit and still cut off the small wood near the base. If there are any strong new shoots near the base keep them. |
