Default care of piccolo tomato


"stuart minnikin" wrote

Can anyone tell me if, when growing piccolo tomato you have to pinch out
the side shoot or leave on as you would with a tumbler.

an early reply would be welcome.


It's an "Indeterminate" tomato so you pinch out any side shoots leaving one
main stem.
Quite a sensible distinction if you think about it, indeterminate just keep
growing taller and taller, determinate, which you don't pinch out, grow into
a bush and don't get any taller.
