    I've growing an apache chillie plant for the first time. I haven't cut it back at all and have dozens of little chillies but none very big. should I have cut back some shoots like you do with tomatoes?

    Cheers

    Apache chillies don't get very big Turniphead. And no, you don't need to cut anything back.
    If you think your chillies are undersized things might improve with some tomato feed.
