I build 6ft supports for my climbing french beans and select ones have overshot that by a foot or so.
What's the best thing to do?
Increase the support height or snip the top off?
Might mean snipping 12-18" of plant!!

Snip the top off, same as for runners.

I just let mine drop back down.

Hi, if you pinch the tops out you get alot of lovely side shoots which make bushy plants.

Wow - conflicting advice!!
I'm a torn man!
Shall I let them grow with flow or snip them?

[DD.]

By the time they get to the top, they should already have thrown out a lot of side shoots. I just couldn't be bothered to go round all mine giving them a hair cut.

You could try half & half & report back!

I'm just lazy and leave 'em be

take the top out you will get a bushing of the plant and a thicker crop

I'll just remain grateful for whatever they produce regardless!
