Tomato tree?
This picture, as well as some of the others y'all have posted recently, makes it look like to have a tomato trees rather than the bush-like shape I always seem to end up with. Do you prune it to keep a central leader like a fruit tree? Also, do you just tie the plant to the stakes with string, or do you use something else less likely to cut? Can you offer some addition tips on pruning tomatoes? I try to keep mine thinned enough to allow good air flow, but there's not much rhyme or reason to which stems I snip. Thanks!
