Years ago, I watched a TV documentary on tomato growing. The
grower was asked why he removed all the leaves from his plants,
and he said that he supplied all the nutrients they needed, and
he wanted it all to go to the fruit, not into the leaves. He
was growoing in I think a heated greenhouse.

Does anyone do this to their toms?

I'm wondering this year, as they have made an awful lot of
leeaf growth in the greenhouse (cold), and I would like to get
as much sun onto the fruit as possible, giving the weather we
are ahving.

I have six tomato plants in the greenhouse. A friend told me to remove
the leaves to encourage more fruit. I removed the leaves on three of
the plants. All the plants have produced lots of tomatoes. The ones
without leaves don't taste as good but that may be all in the mind.
