Tomatoes.
More questions about tomatoes.

I have been meticulously clipping the things I've heard called "suckers," sprigs that come out of the interstice of stem and branch. So, first of all, is this always indicated?

Second, my involuntary experiment. I accidentally removed the topmost sprig (if that's the right word) of the plant, not a sucker! That was two or more weeks ago. The plant is growing, but not at the top. The picture shows broad low branches and no tip. So, how does this work?
