How do u prune ur tomato plants?
You can remove the lower leaves. Only remove leaves below the flowers or fruit. It helps to open up the plant, and let the sun ripen the fruit. Also remove any yellowing leaves.
Reply:Never heard of pruning a tomato plant. This will NOT produce more fruit !!! Probably just the oppisite as it will re direct energy to make more limbs and heal the cut. Probably why its not done. Only thing that holds up fruit production is lack of pollination.
Reply:I've never pruned my tomato plants. As the vines grow, I just continue to tie them up to the stake. I think pruning makes for less potatoes.
Reply:By pruning Tomatoes, you get less production, not more. The size of the tomato fruit is genetically set. Pruning won't increase the size of the fruit.





As the plant grows and puts out new limbs, it also produces more flowers, which turn into the Tomato Fruit. If you prune the limbs, you will limit the number of Tomatoes it will produce.
