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.

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.
