My tomato tree



I have a 7 foot tall cherry tomato tree. It has not produced many tomatoes though. It just keeps growing up. What do I do?

Prune it. It needs to put more of its energy into fruiting, and less into growing green parts. (Very most basic rule of thumb, if you don't already know it: where it splits three ways, remove the center branch.)

Weird. I wonder if it isn't getting enough light. That would make it leggy and maybe it wouldn't have enough energy to grow an actual tomato.

Thank you for the help. It does only get light from morning until 2pm. Also I did prune it a while ago and then we went on vacation and it went crazy. I'll prune it some more today.
