5 Golden Polyhouse Management Rules for Indeterminate Gourmet Cherry Tomato
Use high-wire trellising: suspend roller hooks at 3.5 m height; lower and lean vines as lower trusses are harvested.
Maintain rigorous pruning: remove all axillary shoots (side suckers) weekly before they divert plant energy.
Strip lower leaves below the lowest harvesting cluster to improve airflow and expose ripening fruit to indirect light.
