Yes. RUB OFF all side shoots wherever they are. Do it early as soon a
you spot the tiny growths. In that way you will not need to cut the
plant and thereby cause damage which may not heal and consequently
become diseased.

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?
