Re: When is it not safe to prune
Welcome to the forum, Benji!
The more leaves you have the more photosynthesis the plant will have so the plant will be stronger, probably producing larger bunches which mature sooner. Ideally, you should wait until a leaf turns yellow before trimming it off. If it is drooping but still green, it is still providing food to the plant but it is not a big loss to trim it off at this point since it is near the end of its service anyways.
