    Hi,

    I have been away for two weeks and my greenhouse tomatoes have been water well but the suckers were not pinched out and some of them are as thick as the main stem, is it to late to prune them now? could pruning them leave the wound open to disease?

    Thanks

    Any trimming that we did to our tomato plants never seemed to result in disease.

    go ahead and prune them now. use knife for clean cut, you should also ensure that you have staked and tied them do that so the would not topple over.

    When first flowers show, take off all foliage below them, this is what I typcially do, concentrates growth in fruiting
