You might be in time Too Many.

Do it anyway, as we had the same on a couple, and they've produced marvellous shoots!

Remember they are greedy plants, so a handful of chicken pellets and plenty of water will help those side shoots grow  :D

What about a splurge of 6X liquid splunge KC?

Will that do?
