Re: How to Prune Tomato Plants?
It all depends on the amount of yield desired. Quality of fruit may be
higher if you can live with less harvest.
Prune the first sucker branch (grows from angle of main stem and first
branch) and all other suckers. If you desire quantity, leave the first
sucker to grow (essentially another plant) but remove all others.
Tomatos are very tolerant of prunning, and leaving them alone would
promote vegetation and reduce fruit. (It would also crowd other plants
in my SQFT garden.)
This is what I have done. Others may have different experiences and
ideas. The important thing is for _you_ to experiment and find out what
is best for _you_.
