What does /hgm/ think about this tomato pruning strategy?
>prune some (or no) suckers for the first 3-5 feet
>let remaining suckers grow up to the first truss of flowers
>prune the ends of the branches right after the flowers
>also prune leaves on the suckers
>tie the short branches to add extra support for heavier fruit sets
The result should be a normal single stem but with extra fruits on it toward the bottom. Pic related showing two suckers allowed to grow to the first set of tomatoes and then pruned right after.
