OP Shawn M Member S Joined: Apr 2006 Korea	Hello all. I've read from many to snip tomato flowers after transplanting to let the plant concentrate on getting it's root system going. My question is how long do you snip the flowers before you let them try to start producing fruit? Thanks! Shawn

Sorry I could not have help you much but the others surly will. Nicky
