my tom plants

[butterfly]

which bbranch do I break off






again refresh me, what is the reason?? They will grow better by putting more energy into the toms that are there??

The sucker branch. The little branch that appears in the middle of the 'V'. Best to pinch these off when the plant is young. Puts more energy in the the tomato plant.

Also, some say we should trim up the tomato plant ...... I've read a foot but I think this is too much.

Mine need a good clearing from the base although its rather late for this.
