Cordon or bush?

Hi all,
I bought some tomato seeds, but am still very much a novice with toms.
The packet does not say if they are cordon or bush variety, so I dont know if I need to pinch or not.

Will it become obvious as the plant grows?

FYI they are from Sutton Seeds 'Italian Kitchen' range.
The packet says Pomodoro Ciliegia, but I think this just translates to cherry/sweet tomato, and I have read that cherry toms can be either cordon or bush.

Generally unless stated they will be cordon rather than bush..
That is in my limited experience!!
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

I guess I will grow a few plants so I can experiment!

Try both ways and see which is better.
Then collect the seed from them and grow the plants the way that comes out best for you. ;)

Got them back now to put some tread on them
