Default Aubergines

I'm growing an aubergine plant in my gh & it seems to be doing quite well.
It has become very dense (leafy) , should I cut some off & if so how many ?


I've never trimmed leaves off mine, and we got quite a reasonable crop last
year. I suppose it may depend on what you mean by very dense. But surely
the more leaf it has, the more energy it will absorb to produce fruit?

Last year I accidentally took the top off too early, and that seemed to
increase fruiting significantly, but I've been told I have to be more
careful this year.

Noticed our first flower this weekend!
