The only ground cherry that's looking great is the one in the big pot (which I hadn't snipped). Did not snip it today either, will let it be.
The north one in the central area (which I hadn't snipped) looks pathethic. So, today I snipped off all of the flowers/immature fruit.
The one next to the air conditioner (which I hadn't snipped) looks pathetic. So, today I snipped off all of the flowers/immature fruit.
The south one in the central area (which I snipped on May 21st) is only just now starting to look like it will grow -- leaves starting to look darker and coming in more fully.
The one next to the compost (which I snipped on May 21st) is also only just now starting to look a little better.
------> So: Regarding my snipping experiment: Overall, it seems that snipping the fruit/flowers helped promote growth, but not very quickly. And, the potted one is a huge exception -- it looks fantastic, and I hadn't snipped it.
