Hello everyone, I am having some trouble determining what leaves I need to prune off my beefsteak tomato plants. I have 2 plants, each only with 1 tomato. I have had new flowers on the plant for almost 2 weeks now and it seems like it hasn’t started growing any more fruit. Does anyone know what the deal might be? Am I just not giving it enough time? In the last picture it looks like there may be another tomato growing, but it’s been the same size for almost a week now. Any advice?
Also, it seems like the stem I have circled in the pictures may be a sucker that grew a little too big? I am nervous if I prune it that it may do more harm than good because it’s above the first tomorrow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I had to say, the right stem in the first photo is the main. But you can leave both honestly, have fun!
Okay, see I thought the left stem might be the main because of the flower clusters. This is my second year growing tomato’s. Last year the stems grew pretty tall, but unfortunately they never produced:(
Are they determinate or indeterminate?
You have plenty of space, just leave them be.
