See that sucker there on the picture?

Suckers are secondary branches that grow in the joints of existing branches. Always, pinch them off!

  1. This tip is only valid for indeterminate tomatoes!! If you remove suckers from determinate tomatoes you will have a much smaller crop, and there are definitely tomatoes growing on those suckers on determinate plants.

      • If you buy bedding plants are already growing it will say so on the tag. It will tell you if they are determinate or indeterminant. If you plant from seeds it will say so on the seed packet.

        Indeterminate tomato plants continue to grow, limited only by the length of the season. These plants produce stems, leaves, and fruit as long as they are alive.

        Determinate tomato plants have a predetermined number of stems, leaves, and flowers hardwired into their genetic structure. The development of these plants follows a well-defined pattern.
