My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pruning /suckers on cayenne peppers

16 years ago

Hi, I have a small cayenne pepper planted in the ground last week and it seems to be growing well.

I notice that it has some suckers at the junction of the stem and branch/leaves, similar to that in tomatoes. I know we snip those suckers off on tomatoes and was wondering if I need to do the same for these cayenne peppers as well.

Thanks
