Hi

I have a torch that is a bit tall for my liking.  I would love it to be about an inch shorter as it would fit my scape better.  Am i able to cut the skeleton so that it's shorter or is this likely to upset it?

It it's likely to do any harm i will leave it.  Just a thought...

Cheers

That's fine. Just not too close to any heads, and be careful not to damage the fleshy bits.

on average the heads on mine are an inch from the main stalk in a Y so i'd say if you leave a good inch or two on the main stalk?
