Colleen,
Im very happy with the tomato. It seems Sungreen 4029 will start flowering soon.
The green sprouts u can use to create a “vruchtzetel” (Fruitbranch). At the horizontal layer u can keep every 10 to 15cm a vruchtzetel.
Its best, if possible, to remove the green sprout that are direct vertical on top of the horizontal layer (they are very vigorous and do not produce fruit). And keep the green sprouts that start horizontal at the horizontal layer or in a angle at 45°.
So remove the vertical spout by pruning at 0,5 cm. U keep every 10 to 15cm a green horizontal sprout or a sprout that is between horizontal and 45°.
These horizontal sprouts u prune at 21 of June (the week after the longest day the growth well be stopped for a week).
For a pear the sprout is pinched at 6 to 8 buds. And a apple is pinched at 9 to 10 buds. The last bud have to be in the downwards direction. If not remove the last bud and pinch to a further bud what have downwards direction. (if u don’t do this the last bud will grow to strong and take all the food from the previous buds. If it takes to much food they previous buds can’t make flowerbuds.)
Don’t prune the weak sprouts that grow slowly (they are short). They can have a fruitbud at the end of the sprout.
6 weeks after 21 of June u have to do the second summerpruning. So give a picture at that time and I will explain what to do.
P.s. how is he bottom layer, are there enough new green spouts? And can it compete with the top layer?
