I live in Central Florida and have several tomato plants that appear to be
doing very well. Lots of fruit and very lush foliage to the point of
"hiding" the fruit.

Are there any pros or cons to thinning the foliage somewhat so that sun
can
get to the fruit?

Thanks for any input....

I live in zone 6 and never prune any foliage from my tomatoes. The intense
sun in the summer scalds any exposed fruit here. In addition, I've found
that the fruit are larger.
