More Tips For Leaf, Stem Removal and Fruit Production!
1. Choose if you want a few branches or a central leader.
2. Train the plant up a stake, train up a fence and grow vertical tomatoes
3. Remove any old, diseased or unwanted branches. This is done by twisting out the branches that appear near the leaf.

Training Tomato Plants and Which Are The Easiest To Grow?
Training Tomato plants just may be the simplest of all methods, other than just letting them be.
This can be very similar to creating a central leader, but here you have more freedom to pick and choose which branches your want to train.
This method is mostly used on a fence, grid or some type of support. Wire fences work perfectly, and this just may be my favorite method for pruning and training tomatoes.
Many people ask me the question how to prune tomato plants, and which plants are the easiest to grow?
I would have to say Cherry Tomatoes!
Cherry Tomatoes are perfect for those who are little lazy around the garden or just don't have the time.
Basically they only need a bit of support, some fertilizer, water, full sun and you have Cherry Tomatoes all summer long.
And if you are lucky like me and live in the sub tropics or tropics, you can have sweet little Toms all year round!
