I bought two Big Boy tomato plants recently, but it doesn't say if they are bush or vine type.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Dunno for sure but I grew them last year as vine type with reasonable results.

Just checked and they are indeterminate vine type

I grew them last year and will again this year,they are vie types and although I found them slow to start flowering they were worth it producing huge ,tasty toms.The only prob. I had was that being so big in last years hot weather you really had to watch the watering to avoid end rot.

And the plants get heavy, so make sure your cane or whatever they are growing up can take the weight!

this could be one to try with John's upside-down-tomato-growing-thingy... :wink:
