Among experienced summer residents, there are those who would not try to speed up the ripening of tomatoes.

What to do with tomatoes

Tall tomatoes in greenhouses have several tassels with fruits at the same time. They may be delayed in development or ripen unevenly.

To reduce the waiting time, you need to trim the lower leaves to the level where 3-4 tomato clusters ripen. Pay attention to an important point. You should trim the leaves only when the tomatoes have reached the varietal size. Before that time, the leaves are not needed. When you remove the leaves at the right time, the fruits receive more light and ripen faster.

This method is also well known to tomato growing specialists. They use it widely. That is why their fruits grow the same size and with excellent ripeness.
