  • Top of my cucumber plant broke off

    I think it's the ridgemount one.

    Basically tying it up carefully, and the top 3-4" broke off

    Is this a bad thing? Will this damage the plant, cause growth fruiting issues, or damage the 2 cukes that have formed?

    It may even be a good thing depending on how big your plant is. The guidance i've had is to nip out the top grwth on cucs when you have four pairs of leaves. This causes more side shoots and hence more fruiting. Don't go snapping off the side shoots though

        Your cucumber will be fine Gadgetman. Don't worry.
