Hey All,
A few years ago, one of the members of my community garden talked me into pruning lower leaves on my indeterminate tomatoes to increase fruit yields. What I cannot remember is this.
I know you should prune the lower leaves so none are touching the ground or are yellowing or diseased. That is a no brainer. What I can't remember is how high to keep pruning as the plants keep getting larger, creating more foliage at the top. Do you go up to the lowest cluster of fruit still ripening? Or do you stay a few branches below?
Does anyone use this method and can assist? Thanks!
