single truss tomato experiment

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

single truss tomato experiment, I'm trying a small isolated batch of tomatoes indoors ahead of the season. with this method you trim above the very first truss of flowers leaving 1-2 leaves, so the plants stay small, dense and produce a few fruit. reminds me of the sea of green method. in a couple weeks i'll start our plants destined for outside in early june, these ones fruiting today in the 3rd week of march are far too early for transplanting.
