In this video, I share why you're probably pruning tomatoes wrong. Most tomato pruning advice online is given without context. As a result, many gardeners are pruning tomato plants incorrectly, and this mistake will destroy your harvest by greatly reducing fruit set. This video clarifies how to prune tomatoes correctly once and for all!
One of the most common bits of tomato pruning advice given is to remove suckers from tomato plants. In reality, removing suckers from tomato plants will dramatically reduce your tomato harvest. Many tomato plants should not have their suckers removed, and if you're growing tomato varieties that can tolerate sucker removal, it's important to have a plan before you remove them. This video will explain exactly when it's OK to remove tomato suckers, because it probably isn't what you've been told!
