Tomato Pruning Hints:
Pruning and fruit thinning is essential for the control of plant vigour, crop load and disease. It also aids light penetration and allows easier access to plants for spraying and picking.
Tomato plants are normally grown as a single stem. This requires the removal of side shoots that develop between the main stem and each leaf. Side shoots should be pruned out when small to minimize wastage of growth energy.
It is also necessary to remove old plants from the base of the plant, as improving the ventilation between plants reduces the incidence of disease. Do not remove leaves next to growing fruit bunches. Unnecessary removal can reduce fruit size and crop yield. Remove lower leaves near fruit bunches only when the fruit is fully grown and about to ripen. This allows light onto the fruit, improving colour development and hastening ripening.
Flower and fruit bunch thinning is occasionally needed when excessively large flower bunches are formed or when more than six fruit are set on a bunch. More than six to a bunch can result in reduced fruit size. Deformed, poorly shaped or diseased young fruit should be removed when pruning.
