My beefsteak Tomato plants are doing well, but have a lot of suckers that need to be removed so the plant can focus it's energy on the main plant and producing fruit. Some people ask what is a sucker and how can I tell. Suckers are simply new branches that grow above and between an existing branch and the main stock. See the arrows above.
Flower stems grow from the stock directly, but sometimes they are close to a branch and difficult to tell when small; therefore, let them get a little larger and you will start to notice the flower buds.
