Aftercare Instructions
Remove side shoots as they appear but always leave the top two side shoots as this variety sometimes forms a flower truss at the top of the plant. Should this happen one of the side shoots can be used as a replacement leader. Pinch out the growing point when 5-7 trusses have set.
