Title: Cordon or bush?
Post by: JimmyJames on April 06, 2010, 10:58:41
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!!

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. ;)
