Follow these pruning steps to produce more tomatoes! Do you ever look at your tomato plants and find they are a mess of leaves and random stems growing half as fast as your neighbours? Well pruning is a great way to get plants to grow faster and healthier by preventing them from wasting energy growing unhelpful foliage and focusing on main stem and fruit production. In this video, I'll walk you through how to prune cordon (indeterminate) tomatoes as well as outline how to restrain yourself when pruning the bush (determinate) tomato plants. I'll also talk about other things to do to keep your plants healthy like mulching and which companion plants to place nearby. This video assumes you're growing your tomatoes vertically with some kind of support.
