The problem is, the suckers take up a lot of energy, and they aren’t great producers.Rework those summer pots: This month is an excellent time to give any tired-looking, drought-stricken summer containers a new lease of life so that they continue to flower abundantly right up until the first hard frosts. These are smaller still, but they will eventually grow large enough to produce fruit. Suckers grow in between the stems and the branches at the joint. The branches come out of these main stems and tend to be smaller and grow either horizontally or at an angle rather than upright. The main stems are the parts of the plant that grow upwards, and that support the lateral branch growth. How to Prune Tomato Plantsīefore we jump in, we need to define a few important terms:
