I never of thought of pruning my tomato vines until a friend mentioned it today. There is nothing more frustrating than tall, unstackable plants only bearing limited amounts of fruit. I had some free time so I did a little research and sure enough it can be done to the benefit of the harvest. You can bet I’ll be trying it this year when my plants get big enough. If you fight the same battle, it might be worth your while to check out the link I put under the Gardening section on the “Useful Links” page.

Thanks , I’ve just been looking for info approximately this subject for a long time and yours is the greatest I’ve came upon so far. But, what concerning the bottom line? Are you positive about the source?
Thanks.. It’s just a link I found that was helpful… 🙂
Prune sparingly, too, if you live in a place with intense summer sun, which can cause sunscald on fruits (fruit with tough, thickened skin and discolored areas). If space in your garden is at a premium, or if you’re supporting plants with tomato ladders or stakes, it’s best to prune your tomatoes to one or two main stems. To do this, pinch out all suckers. Otherwise, suckers will grow into additional stems and create a wide, bushy plant. The remaining main stems will grow strong and sturdy and will be easier to secure to the supports’ uprights with plant ties .
Thanks…. That’s good to know.
