pruning tomatoes

[greg77]

any advise on whether and how to remove all branches up to first truss.i have read that you should remove all up to first truss should i do this with sharp knife or scissors. i,m asking cause i,m afraid of disease on large open cuts this would leave or am i being stupid. by the way i mentioned earlier i would try the turbo toms,well they certainly are fast growing, having caught and passed earlier plantings,anyone else trying them
