Pruning tyee spinach — FAQ
When should I prune tyee spinach?
From 45 days after sowing; remove bolt stalks as soon as visible. Cut or snap outer leaves at the base, leaving the crown intact. Pinch bolt stalks off immediately at the base to gain extra days of harvest.
How often does tyee spinach need pruning?
Every 1–2 weeks; bolt stalk removal as soon as detected. Tyee spinach is a slow-bolting variety that benefits from cut-and-come-again leaf harvesting rather than pruning. Harvest outer leaves regularly to keep the plant productive. Its bolt resistance means the harvest window is longer than most spinach varieties, but eventually a flower stalk will emerge — remove it promptly or pull the plant.
