I just watched the video but my tomato plant has grown way past that. Is there a method for trimming a grown plant? Will it help produce more tomatoes?

Personally, I remove suckers as the plants grow, but when they get really large I just trim back as I need to, to control the plants. I topped my Early Girls to get them to ripen faster, and I top all my tomatoes when it gets near the first average frost date for the same reason.
