| On a couple of 4 and 5 ft. dahlias, I noticed that they were short and squat. Upon looking I found that they have one main stem which goes up about one set of leaves and has split into two main stems so the whole thing looks like a V. Should I take one off? |

| It sounds like it has been "pinched", either by human touch or by mother nature's agents. If you leave it, you will get twice the blooms. Personally, I feel that the blooms is the reason for growing dahlias. Certainly not al the work. LOL. Personally, I would leave it. |

| Thanks, I hope it puts out laterals. It was pinched so far down. Ah the mysteries of the dahlia. |
