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!
