We've never suckered tomato plants before. But we have about 800 out this year, 100 in High Tunnel and 700 in field. 2 feet apart in row, 3-4 feet between rows. We grow early blight resistant varieties, and tend not to spray, only 1-2x per year if blight is getting bad.
We trellis with Florida weave, stake and string.
Should we make the time to remove all foliage and suckers below the first flower clusters? (We do have the labor.)
Different method for cherry toms, or between determinants and indeterminants? Sucker some of those over others?
Thanks,
Richard Moyer
