How do I know which are the suckers; on a tomato plant?

Dear Linda:
No commercial grower worries about taking out suckers and you
shouldn’t worry about it either. Every branch has the potential to
flower and thus, produce more fruit for your table. The only time
I have ever taken a sucker off was when I was teaching Horticulture
and I wanted to show my students how you could take off a branch
inbetween a branch and then root it to show them how easy tomato
plants could root.
My Best,
Stan
