Can anybody please tell me whether this is a bush type tomato? I have looked at several websites but I am none the wiser. Perhaps someone here has grown them before?

Thanks

It's a cordon variety.

Per Mr. Fothergills......

How to grow indoors: To grow in greenhouses, sow in trays of moist compost at 18C (65F). Plant out to individual pots when large enough to handle to reduce to about 15C (60F). Plant out in large pots or grow bags in late April and May. Provide sturdy support for the plants and pinch out the side shoots as they appear. Water daily and evenly and provide a liquid feed once the first trusses of flowers have set fruit.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I've grown both Sweet Million and Sweet 100 and both were large bush types for me. Loads of fruit off them. I simply haven't time to fuss with cordon pinching. Sorry Digger.

The question was 'Can anybody please tell me whether this is a bush type tomato?'

The answer is 'No'. :wink:

Guess it depends on our definitions of bush. Perhaps the varieties in the UK are different, but over here they're definitely bush with no pinching or whatever. In fact, the best yield comes from no pinching out of side shoots. From 3 plants, which grow to 1 M tall, I can supply all my neighbours.  :wink:
