Pruning is not essential for the health of tomato plants. The plants will need the leaves and suckers to produce flowers and tomatoes. However, there are things you can do to maintain the plants’ health.
Prune the early leaves and side shoots to drive the nutrients to the main plants for better yields.
In cases where there are dense leaves and side shoots, selectively remove any that are struggling.
The best time to prune tomato plants is early in the morning. The fresh cuts will dry during the day, keeping the plants healthy.
