- How to Prune Tomatoes to Get MORE FRUIT | Tomato Plant Care Guide
There are 2 varieties of tomato plant:
determinate and indeterminate. You should only prune
indeterminate varieties, which produce new leaves and flowers
through the growing season.
Pruning helps your plant direct its energy
toward producing fruit
rather than producing more foliage.
Step 1 -
Removing the suckers
Find the main stem of your tomato plant. You can see that between the main stem and branches appear growths called suckers. Pruning tomato suckers improves the production and health of a plant. Suckers under 2 inches long can
be pinched off with your fingers. With larger suckers, use a pair
of clean pruning scissors. Try to remove the suckers
when they are small.
WHAT HAPPENS
IF YOU DON’T PRUNE SUCKERS?
Leaving them to grow will seriously
reduce your yield. Note that unpruned suckers produce
new suckers. So your plant will outgrow
its space in the garden.
Step 2 -
Pinching early flowers (optional)
Tomato flowers transform
into the fruits of the plant. Pinch off the first flowers before you transplant
the plant into the garden or final container. Pinching out the flowers early allows
the energy to be focused on the roots.
Step 3 -
Pruning off the lower leaves
Cut all the leaves that are pointing to
the ground or extremely near to the ground. So the soil diseases are not splashed
up onto plant leaves. Also prune yellowed leaves to prevent disease, impove the plant’s appearance. It helps the plant keep its energy
focused on fruit production. As the plant grow, prune it regularly
and keep the bottom 6 to 12 inches bared.

Good sharing, pruning tomato
Thank you

Lovely 😍
Need to try this in my balcony 👍
Great video!
So a tomato plant started to grow on my backyard, out of nowhere, which is pretty awesome lol Must have been a seed brought by wind or a bird. Anyways, since I don't know much about planting I just let it fully grow to see what it was like, only having put a little 50 cm stake on the main stem, but then I just let it grow by itself and now it's a huge bushy mess of 2x2 meters in diameter and almost a meter in height lmao. I never thought it would grow to be such a big plant. There are some tomatoes ripening and I've managed to eat one already. I've already saved the seeds and will try to save the rest from the other fruits so I can replant it. I was planning on growing a vegetable garden already so this was just Mother Nature surprising me, and also blessing me in a way ahah There's few fruits, because of so many leaves, but they measure around 4x4 cm in diameter. This video will surely help me after I germinate the seeds.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your amazing tomato plant story! Nature's surprises can be wonderful. Enjoy your bountiful tomato harvest and best of luck with your future gardening plans.
Happy gardening! 🍅🌱
It depends on the cultivar...whether you should prune suckers or not. A relative gave me an unknown tomato plant that grew grape tomatoes. I let it grow wild in a 5-gallon bucket of my soil & now have several daily grape tomatoes!
Be careful might be a potato plant, and eating the 'berries' when the potatoes' flowers are blooming is quite dangerous as they're poisonous.
Wow
Very useful, thank you 🙏
Very nice info.
Thank you
Thanks 💚
Helpful
Thanks 💚
Simple short video, straight to the point. I like it.
Thank you ♥️
Good information about growing tomatoes. 👍
Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
thank you for this useful video :)
❤ Thank you, very helpful content. Plant lovers will need it.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad it was helpful for plant lovers like you. Happy gardening 💚
This is perfect - it gave me the information I wanted in a succinct, easily understood manner.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad the video was helpful and easy to follow 💚
Nice 👍
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for this video! I’m new to gardening. This was helpful. My tomato plants are overgrown. They are producing tomatoes but I have never pruned (indeterminate)- Should I prune now? The tomato’s are just starting to come in- small and green (cherry tomatoes).
I'm glad you found the video helpful! If your indeterminate tomato plants are overgrown and just starting to produce small, green tomatoes, it's a good idea to start pruning now. Focus on removing the lower leaves and any excessive growth to allow better airflow and light penetration. This should help your plants and tomatoes thrive. Happy gardening! 🍅🌱
👍👍👍
❤️
Which one tablts
Love it. Thank you for sharing
Thank you 💚
Amazing🌱 😍❤🌳
❤️
I did it its really worked, it is a great and unic tip💚💚✌👌
❤️
Very good video and helpful 👍
Thank you very much!
Can we prune the suckers after its grown is it ok?
Yes, you can prune the suckers after they’ve grown, but it's best to do it when they're small to avoid stressing the plant.
Happy gardening 💚
How do you know what kind of plant it is , prune or not prune ?
Take a look at its growth habit. Indeterminate plants grow tall like vines, while determinate plants are bushier and stop growing at a certain height.
Check the fruit production. Indeterminate plants keep producing fruit throughout the season, while determinate plants have a shorter fruiting period.
By observing these characteristics, you can figure out what kind of tomato plant you have and whether pruning is necessary.
I grow tomatoes so deer and hornwoms can eat the plants
Good video. I see I need to cut a few more branches off my plants. All my tomatoes are indeterminates. I kept the suckers off, but many of my branches have branches with no flowers on any. Should I cut any of those off? There are only a couple of branches on each plant that have any fruit growing at all, and they have been green for a couple of weeks. Also, any new flowers have simply dried up although I keep the soil most at about 5 or so. Much foliage, no suckers, few green tomatoes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Hi, there can be various factors for low production, such as weather, seed quality, lack of fertilizer, diseases etc.
Many times the problem lies in the size of the container. The tomato plant requires a lot of space for its root system to get a high yield.
Try using at least a 20 liter container.
@@DinasGarden 🤔 They are each 10-gallon grow bags. The plants are from an organic farmer, so who knows.
Here is some additional tips you can try:
1. Make sure that the plant gets full sun exposure.
2. Add light fertilizer once every one to two weeks.
3. Try to do hand pollination.
good luck, wish you to get high yield!
@@artstamper316 sounds like too much nitrogen, not enough phosphorus.
@@kenshinhimura9387 agreed…maybe some bone meal would help !
So y can’t I just prune the leaves that grows on my tomato suckers and leave the blossoms
Thanks for your input!
In my video, I highlight the benefits of removing suckers for increased airflow and fruit production on indeterminate tomatoes. However, your approach to keep suckers and selectively prune leaves is also a valid method, providing a different balance. Gardening offers flexibility, so feel free to choose the method that suits your tomatoes and preferences best.
Happy gardening! 💚

I planted two of my larger suckers and now they are producing more tomatoes door me :)
Sure. This is an great way to propagate the tomato plant, if there is enough space for another planting.
If you cut all the Bloom's off how will you get tomatoes
As we explained in this video - only the early flowers can be pinched off, at the stage before the plant is transplanted in the garden or in the final container.
What they were transplanted two weeks ago and are still relatively small and I’m trying to produce flowers? Especially on determinants. The indeterminate plants I bought aren’t going to do very well because I wasn’t able to plant them soon enough as I bought them very early in the year like at the end of April. So I don’t have much hope for the plants that will produce the most tomatoes for me but I have a four determinate plants and I don’t know if 12 inches is good enough height to leave the blooms since I’ve already pinched some of last week already. Sigh…
Pinching off flowers from a determinate tomato plant is not recommended!
Determinate tomato varieties are bred to produce a specific number of fruit sets, and pinching off the flowers can reduce the overall yield of the plant.
As we emphasized at the beginning of the video, all the instructions in the video refer only to indeterminate tomato varieties, which are vining plants that continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season.
@@DinasGarden THANK YOU! This is exactly what I was thinking and then read after I posted this comment! I did pinch the first few off but they had dried out already so it was no big deal. I will leave them on my determinate from here on out though. Thanks again!❤️
Good luck with that! I May your gardening efforts bring you an impressive yield and abundant success 💚

Why pinch the flowers off that’s the fruit is it not
Hi! Yes, those early blooms would become fruit. However, by pinching them off, we help the plant focus its energy on developing a stronger root system and more foliage, leading to healthier and more productive plants later on. It may seem counterintuitive, but it’s a common practice for better long-term yields. Thanks for watching! 💚
This is outdated advice. Should never remove healthy leaves or side shoots. Side shoots produce most of the fruit later in the year,
Im starting to see your point. I am testing this theory right now. The new shoots later in the season present different than the older ones.
These are indeterminate tomatoes. You always prune the suckers. When is the last time you even grew a tomato plant?
University studies do not support the removal of side shoots. For the largest possible harvest, never remove side shoots (or suckers as you call them). Side shoots prioduce most of the fruit near the end of the season.
Great…now Idk wtf to do! 🤦🏻♀️
@@mslea13 lol😂 ikr! Just test two plants side by side 🤷🏾♂️. I’m leaning more towards pruning though. I always have done this. I grow all sorts of plants. I started with cannabis and pruning allowed me more buds and a bigger yield. I was able to compare hundreds of plants as I was a commercial grower
Annoying music
How do you know what type of tomato’s you have if you should prune or not?? I didn’t read the packet lol
It’s easy! determinate tomato plants have a compact, bushy growth habit, stop growing at a certain height, and produce a concentrated crop all at once. Indeterminate tomato plants are vining plants that continue to grow, can reach significant heights, and produce fruit continuously throughout the season.
These features can help you identify which type of tomato plant you have in your garden.
@@DinasGarden thank you for the info my first grow this year on cherry tomatoes I think I over done the seeds as have 32 on the go haha
@@dannyboy1868 good luck with that 🌱🌱🌱
