Growing Tips for the Super Trusser Tomato:

• Support: While the truss system reduces the need for individual stakes, it’s still important to provide some support to prevent the plant from sprawling or breaking.
• Watering: Tomatoes need consistent moisture, so be sure to water deeply and evenly, especially during dry spells.
• Pruning: Prune side shoots and leaves to maintain good air circulation and prevent disease.
• Harvesting: Harvest the tomatoes once they are fully ripened. They should feel firm but yield slightly when gently squeezed.
