Pruning Tomato Plants - Determinate vs Indeterminate Tomatoes - Do You Need to Prune Tomato Plants

Описание: DO YOU NEED TO PRUNE TOMATO PLANTS?
DETERMINATE VS INDETERMINATE
In today's video, I will demonstrate how I prune my tomato plants (the two in this video are in pots) and talk about tomato plants that need pruning and tomato plants that don't.
You should only prune the indeterminate tomato varieties, or so called vining tomatoes. Most heirloom tomato varieties are considered indeterminate, or vining.
The indeterminate tomato varieties produce new leaves and flowers continuously through the growing season. Therefore, they continuously produce tomatoes.
You have to be careful not to prune the growing tip of your tomato plant because it will stop growing vertically. It is easy to recognize the suckers (the growth that needs to be pruned) on your tomato plant as you will always find them growing in the corner formed where the leaf is coming out of the main stem of the tomato plant.

If you prune determinate tomato varieties, you might reduce the fruit production.

Here are some useful sources on pruning, determinate vs indeterminate tomato varieties, and some additional information on each one of the varieties:
