How to Prune Tomatoes to Get MORE FRUIT | Tomato Plant Care Guide There are 2 varieties of tomato plant: determinate and indeterminate. You should only prune indeterminate varieties, which produce new leaves and flowers through the growing season. Pruning helps your plant direct its energy toward producing fruit rather than producing more foliage. Step 1 - Removing the suckers Find the main stem of your tomato plant. You can see that between the main stem and branches appear growths called suckers. Pruning tomato suckers improves the production and health of a plant. Suckers under 2 inches long can be pinched off with your fingers. With larger suckers, use a pair of clean pruning scissors. Try to remove the suckers when they are small. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T PRUNE SUCKERS? Leaving them to grow will seriously reduce your yield. Note that unpruned suckers produce new suckers. So your plant will outgrow its space in the garden. Step 2 - Pinching early flowers (optional) Tomato flowers transform into the fruits of the plant. Pinch off the first flowers before you transplant the plant into the garden or final container. Pinching out the flowers early allows the energy to be focused on the roots. Step 3 - Pruning off the lower leaves Cut all the leaves that are pointing to the ground or extremely near to the ground. So the soil diseases are not splashed up onto plant leaves. Also prune yellowed leaves to prevent disease, impove the plant’s appearance. It helps the plant keep its energy focused on fruit production. As the plant grow, prune it regularly and keep the bottom 6 to 12 inches bared. ___________________ EQUIPMENT & TOOLS USED IN THIS VIDEO: → Pruning Scissors https://amzn.to/3wzN657 → 10 Gallon Grow Bags https://amzn.to/3QKeXq9 ___________________ SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL:    / @dinasgarden
