Many tomato growers end up killing plants and destroying the plant's ability to produce more fruits. I think that's wrong and not for me. Let the plants tell us what's going on and we can learn from it.
We prune the vegetative growth of our plants to fit our environment instead of letting it go wild. Why would pruning the number fruit to fit what we want be so wrong?
