Prune Plants

Your Garden may need pruning to keep plants at about the same height and to control growth. Use garden shears or scissors to prune.. Here are some gen- eral guidelines on pruning various plant types..

Fruiting Plants with Upright Main Stem (First prune) (such as dwarf tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant)

Early pruning of this plant helps strengthen the main stem and encourages plant to branch out.. A strong plant with many branches will be able to bear the weight of much fruit without tipping over..

•From base of plant, follow main stem up past first 5 branches..

•Cut main stem just above 5th branch..
