How to Prune Tomatoes for a HUGE Harvest and HEALTHIER Plants

Discover how to prune tomatoes for a massive harvest and healthier plants with these simple, proven tips!

In this video, I share my 9 years of experience growing tomatoes to help you grow more tomatoes, reduce leafy growth, and prevent blight—the #1 cause of tomato crop loss. Pruning makes harvesting easier, improves airflow, and keeps your plants healthy for a bountiful harvest. Perfect for indeterminate tomatoes like cherry, Beefsteak, or heirloom varieties!
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• Why pruning tomatoes is critical to avoid blight and boost yields
• How to identify and remove suckers to focus energy on fruit production
• The best time to prune tomato plants—start 2-3 weeks after transplanting!
• How to improve air circulation to prevent diseases and grow bigger tomatoes
• Step-by-step pruning techniques for beginners, including how to spot yellowing or diseased leaves
• Tips for supporting your plants with stakes or cages for healthier growth
🔧 Tools Needed: Clean pruning shears, gloves, and a bucket for clippings.
Pruning Schedule: Prune every 1-2 weeks until the first frost, removing suckers when they’re small to save plant energy.

Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned gardener, these tomato pruning tips will help you grow healthier tomato plants and enjoy a massive tomato harvest. Plus, learn how to spot the difference between determinate and indeterminate tomatoes (like Roma for canning vs. tall, vining varieties).
