2 was a sucker at some point, when it was way tiny growing out of the axil, but now it’s got a growing tip with as much foliage as the main stem and well into development as an actual second stem.
* I would certainly not prune any of those 3 if it was my plant. 🙂

2. Snip it off at the base and tuck it into the soil. It will root and grow you another whole plant. No, it is not too late. No, you won’t set this plant back at all by pruning it.

If it comes from the node where a leaf is, it’s a sucker.

I don’t see a sucker, i see potential for extra plant 😉
No.2 is. It’s always +/- 45 degree to the main vain.

Let it get bushy. More stems = more tomates

Super sweet 100 is my fav Cherry variety to grow they are so vigorous and never stop until frost. I’ve had many grow over 20 feet vined and supported all over the place. Awesome plant!
Edit: the sucker is whoever isn’t growing tomatoes jk Organic all the way for the love of god stay away from synthetic bullshit ✌️

I don’t think it matters, the suckered is whatever gets cut, what’s left becomes the main by default

So hypothetically if you’re going to use rooting hormone you’d dip number two in and plant straight to the ground?

I use homemade cages created from metal fencing and leave most of the suckers. I prune some branches and suckers for air flow, but more suckers equals more tomatoes. Airflow and Georgia humidity is a beast and usually requires some type of fungal management, but I end up with a ton of tomatoes.

None of those are suckers.
3 = Top stem
2 = secondary stem
1 = main branch
