My tomato plants started to blossom when the plants were super short which meant the fruit was going to be low to the ground where rodents could easily eat them.

I wanted the plants to grow taller so I basically pruned them.

I will find the original comment in the old thread and send you a link to the original question which I directed to Diana

Good deal, makes sense! I keep the limbs 10-12” inches is to minimize any rain water splashing up on the leaves which then start to have problems with fungal disease.
