What the Service Includes
Pruning tomato plants involves several essential tasks, including:

- Trimming dead or yellow leaves: This helps prevent disease and promotes better airflow.
- Shaping the plant: Guiding the growth direction encourages a more robust structure and prevents sprawling.
- Supporting the plant: Adding stakes or cages as part of the process enhances stability and accessibility.
Key Benefits
- Appearance: Pruned plants look tidier and more organized, enhancing overall garden aesthetics.
- Durability: A well-pruned tomato plant is less prone to disease and pests, ensuring a healthier yield.
- Safety: Reducing overgrown foliage decreases the risk of accidents in your garden.
