As long as there&#39;s lots of tomatoes on the plant go ahead and cut away when it&#39;s time. I never cut mine back, but everyone does it differently.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://community.post-gazette.com/forums/thread/144654.aspxFri, 12 Jun 2009 01:28:46 GMTdb5ed866-44d6-4195-a917-1a4c5f235eb9:144654MJJ0http://community.post-gazette.com/forums/thread/144654.aspxhttp://community.post-gazette.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=62&PostID=144654<p>As you know, these plants grow very tall!&nbsp; In fact, way beyond my tomato cages.&nbsp; Should I cut the top of the plant off when it reaches the top of a 6&#39; cage so that the strength goes into the remaining plant?</p> <p>Thank you.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
