If I leave some side-shoots to develop, will they bear flowers & fruit -
or is there something 'special' about side-shoots that they don't bear
fruit ?

Thanks for your accumulated wisdom

The only thing is for me, at least, is that the growing season is short
enough without side shoots growing and taking energy to make new tomatoes
which probably will not ripen.
I allow 5 trusses per plant, and that is risky.
