Grow The Best Tomatoes This Summer By Pruning! Especially If You’re Growing Indeterminate Tomatoes!

[@AtlanticCanadianAstronomy]

I left most suckers on last year, got over 1100 cherry tomatoes off 2 plants. Was insane. Hard to maintain through storms etc but worth it

[@fancyIOP]

I’m gonna try mine this year, I’ve got seeds sprouting at the moment. I’ll put them in the ground in the next 3 weeks or end of April. I want insane number of them, I don’t wanna buy tomatoes for the rest of the year. Just like weed, I haven’t bought it in 2yrs😅. Mother Nature is awesome 💪🏿🙏🏿.

@fancyIOP Best of luck! Was my first year last year and it went well. Im sure yours will too!!

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

Most tomato experts reccomend minimal or no pruning on cherry tomatoes for maximum production. Generally I only prune cherries on the bottom third to maximize air flow.

Hmm, like most fruit trees, you have to get rid of limps and branches to select the best branches for the fruit you want to grow. Any suckers or branches to far below the top canopy are just stealing energy and resources from the branches that are going to give you quality fruit

[@maximpaul96]

3 leaves are not enough for a plant, you shouldn't cut that many leaves too soon, as a rule : cut at most 3 leaves at a time oance at two weeks And about suckers best moment to cut them is when they have about 2 inches This comes from an european farmer

[@crinna]

[@shit_tiger]

Funny, I just watched a video yesterday about pruning suckers. They did a study and the plants that kept their suckers yielded almost twice as many tomatoes. Just saying, some additional research could be beneficial.

[@theaconite1400]

If the suckers are left, the yield is higher per plant; however, pruning the suckers allows closer plant spacing resulting in higher yield per area. So it really depends on the context of how/where/why the plants are being grown. A home gardener with only a single tomato plant should probably leave the suckers. Anyone with a row of tomatoes like in the video should probably remove the suckers. Farmers with large fields might decide it's not worth the labor costs to remove the suckers.

[@6n100-ent]

in my experience they die quicker if you dont prune them

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

It's a personal choice that realistically has too many pros and cons dependent on too many factors to discuss in a video.

[@lilylu8648]

IMHO pruning suckers is that you need to balance the growth of the plant itself and the amount of fruits you will harvest.

[@lauraratiu]

True, they do make more tomatoes. I’ve seen my dad grow tomatoes my entire life and he kept telling me in order to have big and tasty tomatoes you’ll have to sacrifice the number of tomatoes. You will get many but not as big and not as tasty because the nutrients are shared and split between the numbers. I tried growing tomatoes myself and I see it happen all the time when I don’t prune my tomatoes, they grow and multiply and they’re many but small, never to their potential size or flavor. Never look or taste like my dad’s.

I too have been pruning my plants pretty heavily, this winter I saw a fellow who had done a study and counted his tomatoes produced on a pruned line and a line that he allowed to “bush” a little and leave the suckers in place. He got 3 times he harvest leaving the suckers in place. This year I ‘m going half/half. See how they produce. Good luck and many harvests.

[@BoxingPrinceTV]

Well since suckers produce fruit .. it’s common sense that more suckers = more fruit.

[@crinna]

I only prune sukers on the lower 12-15 in of the plant to increase airflow then i stop. I get huge disease free plants and bumper crops.

Quantity doesn't mean quality. Pruning is done to make all of the nutrients go to the fruits so that you get better quality fruits.

[@kingofthecrows8802]

Tomatoes are "adventitious rooters" and they are not the only plant with this capability. Adventitious rooting is when you can take a fresh plant cutting, throw them in water, and they will grow roots, creating a new plant. The benefit of this is you are taking an EXACT genetic copy of your original "mother" plant. Very very useful for when you want to preserve plants over winter by taking smaller cuttings before the fall comes and kills your plants. Happy gardening; go on google and see what other kinds of plants grow adventitious roots!

[@riestroutman3787]

Few minutes ago, KZbin shows me a short with a guy saying NOT to prune the suckers, then it shows me this. Who do I believe?

[@nathanliteroy9835]

Pruning suckers is ok if you want to do 1 stem method (indets are usually grown with 1 or 2 stems), pruning all the leaves like she does is not, only do it for bottom one against the deseases, and to give more space for airflow

[@kingofthecrows8802]

Okay, to be honest. It's what you want. Here's the deal, though. Stick to a set method until you've fully mastered it. You either want to grow a lot of tomato plants in close proximity, which would strongly recommend pruning and preventing the plants from bushing. OR You just grow one plant and let that thing do whatever it wants, just pruning any leaves touching the ground or looking sickly. Tomatoes can be susceptible to mold and powdery mildew, so avoid watering or misting your tomato plant leaves to prevent the necessary conditions for these fungal diseases from taking hold. Hydrogen peroxide diluted in water can be used as an organic fungicide for foliage. OPTIONAL: you go the bush route, I recommend mulching the topsoil to prevent soil from splashing up and the bottom of your leaves but make sure you fertilize the hole you're planting in. Fresh wood chips, for example, can rob nitrogen from the topsoil so either let the wood chips age, ensuring they feed your plants overtime, or make sure you add some chicken manure or fish scraps in the hole before throwing in additional soil and backfilling your plant in place. Then cover the topsoil with a mulch to help retain moisture and prevent soil-borne diseases from travelling up your bushy tomato plant. Happy growing!

[@mitchelpohl8635]

If have the time can let 1 or 2 suckers grow I in alberta all this is useless. I single stem trim leaves till first fruit after first is picked I cut back to second etc. time till frost is my enemy. But she trims to far in my opinion. Early in year can replant suckers for extra tomato plants they will root. But my season does not allow this I better off to start the seed and plant the plants I want all else go to compost pile. Think of all these videos as a stock pile of info what works for some one may not work for you like the abundance of use compost till your planing in pure compost.

Yep! I only prune suckers late season so the plant can focus energy on the fruit. I always use the suckers for cloning for a fall crop too!
