I think you'll find that the tomato is possibly the most grown veg in the
UK! (Well, I reckon anyway). It does wonderfully here, apparently better
than alot of places where it is naturally found.

We have always pruned our tomato's so that the fruit gets full sun for most
of the day, that way they riped quicker and grow bigger.

I have never pruned tomatoes but equally never get very good crops.
Can someone give me detailed information on what is best. I am in
Berkshire, UK

Pruning is a waste of time and effort and accomplishes nothing but harm.
If you
don't get good crops then compare to other gardeners in your area--is your
problem your own or is it just that one cannot grow much of a tomato in
the UK
or at least your part of it. if others are doing better then you must
describe
your cultural practices to see where you may be going wrong.
