I planted a sweet pepper seedling a week ago and it seems to have gotten off to an ok start, however I've just noticed that the top of the plant looks like it kind of splits in three. There's no obvious main stem, but I guess there must be one!

Are pepper plants like tomatoes? Should I pinch off the other 2 stems and stick with the strongest looking one? Or shall I let nature take its course?

I've attached a (blurry) photo showing the plant. Any ideas?

Sweet peppers naturally grow bushy and it's the side-shoots which will flower and bear the fruits. I sometimes think about reducing the number of fruits to maximise the size and make sure they ripen but can't usually bring myself to actually do it!

Looks fine to me.
I nip off the growing tips to get a bushier plant, the more side shoots the more flowers the more fruits.

I'll drink to that !       Cheers,   Tony.
