Sweetcorn To snip out or not

[johninblackpool]

Hi Folks,

My sweetcorn has grown two sideshoots from the base of each plant and the old guys on the site have said i should have snipped them off when they were young to focus the energy into the main stem.

Any suggestions for next year should i cut out or leave them ??

Cheers
John

Leave them.

[Thelma Sanders]

Yup leave the tillers alone

Leave em in and keep your fingers crossed - each one might just yield another cob

Cheers
John
