Can't remember ,but I didn't like them.
Just googled and it said good for hanging baskets so guess no side shooting .

Don't side shoot them they are a short bush as the other reply says and don't need a cane either if grown in a pot they trail well not as sweet as some of the f1 cherries but still good and fruits have pink tinge.

Agreed, leave them to bush, they are very prolific. Unfortunately, they are not the tastiest! I grew them for a few years from a free packet, they were always the first to ripen and carried on for months. Good luck, hope you like the taste.
