Default Cherry tomato plant pruning

Hi all,

I'm new to growing tomatoes and I have a question on pruning.
These plants are Husky cherry tomatoes and Cherry 100 tomatoes. When is
a good time to start pruning.
These started a little late and are about 3' tall. I see 2 have 2
stems. I have yet to look for suckers.
Right now they have started flowering and 2 have some fruit. Whets a
good height for these guys.

From what I can gather these are indeterminate plants.

Any insight is appreciated.

Martin


IIRC, no difference was found in crop production between pruned and
unpruned tomato plants.
