more stupid questions (pruning)

sergeant69 · March 16, 2014

I know this is tomato growing 101 for all you guys (generic term for people), but I keep reading on this forum and in my books about pruning and topping. I always wanted LOTS of leaves for shade as the sun/heat is problem one out here. now i'm seeing diagrams w/arrows pointing out where I should clip off the suckers, trim 24" up from the ground, topping anything over 6', blah blah blah. should I go back to college and get another degree (this time in pruning) or just not worry about it.
