Cucumber Plant Trimming - rickabca - 07-17-2024
I have a cucumber plant and don't want it to get too tall, maybe 3 feet. Is it okay to trim the top? Will that cause issues?

Hello Rick!
Yes, you can trim the top of your cucumber plant to keep it from getting too tall. It won’t hurt the plant and can actually help it grow more side branches. Just make sure to use clean scissors. Happy gardening!
