Default Tomatoes - removing lower leaf stems

Is it true that you should remove the lower leaf stems at the bottom of a
tomato plant to improve the crop of tomatoes.



My own method, not scientifically proven, is to remove quite a few leaves
from all over the plant but only much later in the season. My theory is that
this lets in more light to the fruit and aids ripening. I do this on both
cherry and "normal" toms. Sorry don not know the variety & I am at work not
home
