Tomato Gardening Tips
To help your tomato plant stay upright and to maintain proper air circulation you need to prune off the suckers.
What are suckers? They are what emerge at the spot where the tomato leaf attaches to the stem. If not pruned it becomes anther stem. By pruning these it improves the quality of the fruit.
Tomatoes that are trained onto stakes do best when pruned down to a single stem.
Caged tomatoes should have the main stem + 2 additional.
Chip off the unwanted suckers every few days.
