How long do y’all prune suckers? I only pruned my tomato suckers until fruit started. Now it’s a jungle of stalks.

In the past I’ve always pruned suckers the whole time. It seems like they can get way too bushy and restrict airflow into the plant if you completely stop. Circulation is pretty key.
Since I’ve got more than one main stem, I’m cutting branches trying to sprout towards the middle of the plant too. Unless it’s fruiting branches.

Yea this year i kept it to 3 stems until fruiting only pinched suckers that were growing too much away/horizontal from plant that I couldn’t support, or if it was growing right up into something else.

The whole season. I go with the single vine approach (obviously because of the number of plants I have). The second a sucker pops up it gets pinched off. Missed one on one of my creole plants and it was damn-near bigger than the main top. Pruning suckers is important especially when plants fruiting.
