Cherokee Purple Tomato plants benefit from regular pruning. Remove the "suckers"—the small shoots that develop in the leaf axils—especially during the early stages of growth. This helps channel the plant's energy into fruit production rather than excessive foliage. Pruning also improves air circulation, reducing the risk of diseases. Keep an eye on the plant's overall structure, and by selectively removing unwanted growth, you'll encourage a healthier, more productive Cherokee Purple Tomato plant.
