Rajun:

Thanks for the info. I looked at some pictures of greenhouse eggplant - it did not look like they pruned either. It would also be easy enough to run additional lines to any branch that's bearing heavy.

Other greenhouses apparently to prune. One "how to" indicates that they allow a second branch to develop 8 to10 inches high. I'll probably try a couple different ways especially with the bigger plants of black beauty / black king and see what works.

I love the ease of single stem tomato growing. With our disease pressure and hot humid summers it seems to really work. I have producing vines over 25 feet long!
