How to Prune a Tomato..
Here are six good reasons to prune tomatoes:
- To grow more flavorful tomatoes.
- To grow larger tomatoes.
- To grow more tomatoes over the length of a season.
- To keep plant leaves and fruits off the ground and away from pests, insect damage, and fungal disease.
- To keep plants smaller and more compact.
- To allow tomatoes on the plant at the end of the season to ripen before the first frost.
Pruning a tomato means removing unneeded growth tips from
the plant. These growing tips are sometimes called shoots or suckers. Growth
tips are the new growth–the small leafy-bud growth–located in the “V” or crotch
between two stems.
