Pinching out Antirrinhums (Snap dragons)

I've got a few of the above and want to make them 'bush out'. Can I pinch out the growing tip ? and if so how big should it be when I do it ? Thanks Chris I wouldn't, or you'll lose the main spike. Modern varieties branch well on their own by Chris 7

Broad beans

Is it recommended to pinch out the growing tips of broad beans? Hi Russell, only when they are fully grown (ie about 3-4ft tall) and that is only to prevent blackfly infestation. I usually wait until one plant has a sign of blackfly, then pinch out by Russell Parry

Dahlias

I am about to plant out my dahlias grown from tubers which have now plenty of shoots. Should I pinch out the tops of some shoots to make the dahlia more bushy? It depends if you want a bushier plant with smaller flowers, or a taller plant with big by Scampi57
