You can pull suckers and put them in a vase of water to root then plant. New plant.

I live in the humidity of swampy southern Virginia. After last years experiment I've discovered that double leaders on each plant, with top pruning all other suckers (leaving the flowers) is just enough to slow the growth so I'm not dropping string too often and it gives me maximum harvest for the full season (no blossom drop) and gives me the best disease resistance. Keeping the airflow maximized while making sure there's enough leaves to shade the roots (without touching the ground) has been the BEST strategy for my high heat high humidity growing season. I also make sure I'm mulched in well and water without splash. Last year was a fabulous harvest and this year looks to be going really well! Hope everyone has a great growing season! Much love to Tuck and the brothers! ❤

I never considered letting the suckers flower and then topping them! I will definitely be adding this to my method

[Gary_Swann]

I'm known about removing the suckers for years, but I've never understood why until today. Nice one.

I have always been afraid to prune for fear I would do it wrong. Thanks, James. Once again you have shown me the correct way to garden. ❤❤❤❤ for Tuck.

[TheCrockersHomestead]

This is exactly what I've been waiting on! Thanks James for showing the right pruning method. All 16 of my tomato plants are doing great!

[nandorockyrocky]

I live in Brazil, and I have learned a lot from your videos. God bless your home today and always.

Thanks for sharing the advanced tomatoe pruning methods!

[amynourse]

I did this for the first time this year. I can't wait to see the difference. Thank you for the clear precise tutorial. ♥♥♥ for Tuck.

I am so glad I watched this, I planted 2 tomato plants into a tote, and was worried they wouldn’t have enough space, I am worried mostly about the roots, but 4 of them have gone crazy. They’re huge, already, I am going to take a few suckers off and get them to root in the ground or another pot/tote. I love this.

That Team Grow shirt is amazing. I also love that you went over pruning and advanced pruning. When people ask how to prune I always say "it depends" and I go over the basics for easy pruning, and mention the advanced methods you talked about here that they might want to wait to get into once they have the basics figured out.

[mgarm]

Thanks! Very clear and precise. I wont let my tomatoes turn onto monsters any more😂!

[sleepsiphon]

Love your videos! ❤

I just started growing tomatoes after my grandmother passed away and I’m carrying on her legacy. Thank you for helping out! 🥰

[donhorak]

Dude! I love these hybrid pruning techniques! These are the experiments I've been doing for over 25 yrs. In that time, I've learned how to treat every plant as an individual. Dig it, you force a plant to do what you want. She might not be happy. You can let her do her thing. You might not be happy. There's always room for compromise. Keep it clean 'down there' and let yer grow wild, baby!

Great way to trick tomatoes, how to cut and let the sun in. Also to water from the bottom 🍅🍅🧄🌶️🌶️🫛 thanks James 🥰

[tamiholloway]

I have been desperately looking for the pruning with this telling system!!! Thank you for your help. I’m raising Hungarian Heart this year. I was insecure about How to prune. Blessings to y’all and Tuck. Thank y’all again!

[ErinHausen-qdlr]

I appreciate the information about sterilization of pruners before going to the next plant. I always wondered about that.

[ShellyMcDonnell]

Luv You all ❤❤❤❤❤ Tuck and his family for training us each and everyday.
