I’m not big on pruning. But those first suckers above the cotyledons, it’s a good idea to remove them. The growth from the lower points are not very robust and usually won’t produce big fruits. Only prune old dying leaves and leaves hanging on the ground. All leaves photosynthesize and make energy for your plant to make fruit. More leaves more fruits.

Such a squatty little seedling, is it a dwarf variety or anything unusual?

How did you grow such a thick plant and keep in so short?

I find they do this when the main stem don’t develop it still grew into a productive tomato plant
