Tomato side shoots
iljunk (Pen Phill) wrote in message ...
Hi all
I usually pull or cut off the side shoots on my tomato plants until they are
about 5 trusses high at which point I nip out the growing tops but in some
varieties the ends of the trusses themselves start to shoot beyond the fruit
forming further branches if left.. Should I cut these off as well?
Yes, I would; and breaking them out carefully works better for me than
cutting, as one's less likely to leave a potential replacement shoot
lurking.
Mike.
