How to Prune Cucumber Plants on Trellis and Identify Suckers
Today, I'll show you how I'm pruning my Diva cucumbers, growing on my lower and lean trellis. They are all being trained to a single leader which means we must remove all the suckers. I'll show you how to identify the suckers and which sun leaves to prune to keep the plant healthy. Other cucumbers tips in their as well :)
