I planted 5 Lady Boothby climbing fuschias this spring. They are all now about 2 ft. high, with flowers at the very top and no sign of any side shoots.
Should I prune them and if so, by how much?

No fuchsia should be pruned at this time of year - cut back to live wood in April, as growth begins.

If you prune it now to get side shoots, you'll lose the lovely flowers. I left mine to do it's thing, then the following spring I pruned it and it sent up several shoots. But at the altitude I'm at, it may not reach it's full height. Mine never goes above 3.5'.
