Depending on the variety, you should pull the suckers off up to the first flower cluster. This is the way to prune determinate types ("ground type pole culture : Bella Rosa, BHN 981 and BHN 876, Carolina Gold, Celebrity (AAS) (N), Crista (N),
Floralina, Mountain Fresh Plus, Mountain Spring
Heat Tolerant: Florida 91, Heatwave II, Phoenix, Solar Set, Sun Leaper, Sun Master, Solar Fire,")

Indeterminates (pole type) should be prunes up the stalk (Better Boy, Creole, Big Boy, Beefsteak,Indeterminate: Better Boy (N), Big Beef (AAS) (N), Champion (N), Jet Star, Pink Girl, Sun Gold, Terrific etc)

Tiger79, what does "should be pruned up the stalk" for indeterminate type mean in laymans terms?
