Title: sweetcorn
Post by: lippett76 on June 13, 2008, 08:34

Hi, all my sweetcorn have sideshoots, ive had these last year and left them, they never produce anythung so i was wondering if i should cut them out to give the main stalk more of the energy?

It's rather normal and there is no need to remove them, makes no difference to yields.

Not for time, but they can be well affected in the wait.
