This is my first time growing tomatos and I have heard different opinions on whether or not you should prune these suckers. What are your experiences and opinions? Looking forward to learning from you!

    I’m no expert l, but my grandpa taught me to prune the suckers from the ground up to about 8 inches, then allow 2 sucker to stay and mature (so you have 3 prominent stems) and then continue to keep suckers pruned from there up. I have a pretty good harvest of tomatoes every year, so I haven’t questioned the guidance.
