Last year i pruned my plants down to 1 stem in a few cases 2 stems. From there i did random pruning to help with circulation and to help keep down the bug populations. My method was similar to the pro greenhouse growers. I had more quaility fruit and more of it per plant than i ever had before. Needless to say i am a believer in pruning and will be at it again here shortly. One thing i will warn you about is the possibility of tomato sun scald once your season progresses. The cherry tomatoes did not show much but the larger tomatoes suffered.
