They look like flowers to me! Lucky you! My dwarfs are still babies.

Linda That's again for these seeds.Got an early start here. Feb 7th started seeds and put plants outside March 27. In pots 5 days after. I think that 2 R.P. plants have flowers now.

I typically do as little pruning as possible on the dwarfs.

I only pull off the suckers and remove branches to maybe 6" inches above the soil line, then I just let them do what they are going to do.

Hey Filmnet, I generally leave the dwarf tomatoes alone as I find them to be more of a tree type of growth. As with any other tomato, pruning practices and theories will vary gardener to gardener. I usually just clip the really low stuff and trim out some of the more dense areas for better air flow. Many of the dwarf tomatoes I have grown have had a VERY dense branch structure. YMMV. Best of luck!
