Formation of tomato bushes

The place from which they grow passes into shoots from the sides. After the inflorescences appear, the upper stems need to be pinched to make them the main ones. It is recommended to leave a few leaves, skipping the last inflorescence. In the future, the stepson becomes the main stem. This is the remaining process that is in front of the third inflorescence.
