Fandango tomatoes

[Paulines7]

I bought some Fandango tomato plants whilst in France but don't know whether they are determinate or indeterminate so don't know whether to pick out the side shoots.  I tried Googling them but couldn't come up with an answer. 

Has anyone else grown them please and will they be all right outside? 

I was going to buy some tomato plants just before we went away but they were £1.50 each in B&Q!!  Glad I didn't now as the French ones were 2.50 euros for eight.  I also bought some Marmande but have grown them before but it is the Fandango's that are new to me.

Well you could divide the total into two, treat one group as a cordon and the other as a bush and see which method gives you the most and best tomatoes.

If they are a good tomato in terms of taste and quantity you could save some seed and grow them again next year.

Tomatoes look like this:


Anything else you need to know about them?

Well it's not often I get to answer anything in 'edible plants' there are normally loads of good answers given before I see the posts.

Thanks a million Baccy man.  Hopefully I will get a good crop from them.
