It's also an indeterminate, as I recall, and will grow to 7 or 8 feet.
Chuck took the words out of my mouth when he advised against pruning tomato

Since tomatoes need moist soil to take up the necessary calcium, I never
withhold water near the end of the season. The real "end" may surprise you
and be later than you expected. Margaret L
