Default Corgettes - can you control ?

What happens if you simply trim the spreading "limbs" ?
How much can you safely take off without seriously reducing yield ?
Advice is appreciated.


We just push sticks into the ground against their stems to guide them to
where we want them to grow.

Guiding with sticks - should of thought of that, thanks.
But I am going to chop off a "tentacle", just to see . . .
