Should early tomato flowers be trimmed #642751

Asked May 28, 2020, 9:08 PM EDT

Our plants are healthy but still very small to be blooming flowers already. Should we cut them off?

You may have one of the early varieties. There is no need to cut off blooms. If they are pollinated and produce tomatoes, fine. If the plant cannot support them it will drop them.
