Thank you for providing great information! I have two Super Sweet 100 tomato plants growing in 20 gallon fabric grow bags on my deck. I decided to let most of the suckers develop. In 2-1/2 months the plant is nearly 8 feet tall and quite dense with branches and leaves. I keep the plants tied up with two 4 foot tomato cages. The top cage's widest point sits on top of the one in the grow bag. I secured them to each other with fastener ties for wiring, then secured the entire cage structure to a 10 foot pvc pipe, 1 inch in diameter. The pvc pipe is secured to my deck railing with 3 inch screws. Yes the foliage is thick, but there is adequate air flow and I keep leaf disease minimal to non-existent by spraying all the leaves on the plants with a solution of 12 tablespoons, 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 gallon of water. I do that about every 10 days starting when multiple flower clusters are developing, which is when the plants are about 2 feet high.

For cherry tomatoes if you allow the suckers to grow you will encourage more nodes of fruit and reap a larger harvest. Just remove the first couple sets of suckers for airflow. For other larger varieties then yeah, remove the suckers.

Thank you! My friend gave me salad ingredients and I planted the cherry tomato seeds. I now have 3 small pots of young and slender shoots. I don't know how well I would be able to grow them here in the Philippines. I hope to be successful at it like you!

Whenever I see a sucker, I clip the main leaf and allow the sucker to grow. I usually get way more branching and flowers and thus fruit from this method.

Had a _Midnight Snack_ cherry tomato plant. Took about 30 of them to make one, two person sauce. They were awesome tasting right off the plant too. Haven't found another since though after a bad winter killed it off.

I'm in Minnesota, I'm unable to have a garden but I can plant one in a 5 gallon bucket or larger. I really want to grow cherry tomatoes! What you suggest? I was going to get a 5 or 7 gallon planter pot and use a tomato cave. I've never grown anything before :o. Thanks for any tips!
