Some varieties are bush varieties that might need staking. Normally they don't need any pruning. If the plant would get too large, it of course can be cut down a bit. Many of the bush varieties are determinate varieties. Determinate means that the plant will grow to a certain size and shape and then set fruit, the harvest period normally is around 10-20 days. After this, the plant is "done" and dies. Many of the bush varieties are earlier than indeterminate, vining varieties.
Some varieties are of indeterminate growth. Indeterminate means that the plant will keep on growing and producing fruit all season. Should preferably be staked or supported and might require pruning of the suckers. Read more about different types of tomatoes.
