The most important part of growing Indeterminate (Cordon) Tomato Plants is to control the amount of vines that will grow. Some tomato plants will produce more shoots than are needed and if not controlled will grow like a vine with lots and lots of lush green leaves but very few fruits (tomatoes). In order to make sure the tomato plant grows in a controlled way and you get lots of healthy tomatoes you need to side shoot, pinch out, prune your plant. This video shows you in detail what needs to be done in order to grow a strong healthy plant that has 1 large stem and hopefully lots of tomatoes.
I will be telling you about the problems that can occur with your plants over the next few days………and how most of them can be resolved by following a few simple steps so please stay tunned.
Thanks for following

Great video! Yes, we call them “suckers” in the U.S. I plant my tomatoes one-per-square-foot and prune them like you showed. They do great that way!
