FreyaFL · November 9, 2012

I have a beautiful cherokee purple growing in my rain gutter system. However, in the past week, the top of the plant divided into four "main" branches! And here I was, preparing to keep my indet. plants all nicely pruned this time. I've never seen this before. (But, I've only grown tomatoes for a few years now, and only a few a year at that. This is my first year of planting MANY.) Is this common? I'm thinking I'll just let the plant have 4 main stalks, at least for now.
