Do You Prune Cherry Tomatoes?

I apologize if this has already been addressed in a different post, but...

I am growing cherries in EarthTainers (two per Tainer) and was wondering people's opinions on whether pruning/suckering would make sense. I don't want the cages to become clogged with foliage, but it's not quite to that point yet. If they were regular-sized toms, I would most definitely prune, but since they're indeterminate cherries, and I'm not concerned with the size of the toms, I'm hesitant to prune. I guess I'm wanting quantity over quality(size). Thoughts? Thanks.
