Pruning in the gh today so I stand some chance of getting in them. I have taken some lower leaves of both tomatoes and cucumbers then tried to determine which tomato leaves were shading ripening tomatoes (if I took off all leaves Iin the way of a fruit the tomatoes would all be bald).
Somewhere I've read that you can strip the leaves up to the first truss, does this have to be a ripening truss or is it ok if the truss is still green but fully formed?. Thereafter you can strip leaves that are not adjacent to a fruiting truss stem. This assumes the truss is being fed by the upper and lower leaf. As I've only read this in one place and can't remember where, what's the panel think?
