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.
