Tomato labels mistake now what to do?

iainBB

Ok i made a mistake when potting up my Tom's . I have two types Chad wicks and st Perry. Chad is a vine type and the st Perry is Bush type.

I have about 10 plants that can be either . any advice how how to treat them . determine the difference.

My plan is to grow the Chad up a vine with the single step method and leave the Bush alone.

But I have no idea what to do with these 10.

If it's St Pierre(?) then it seems that it can be trained as 'normal' by removing the side shoots too. I'd train both varieties the same way.

I'm not a tomato expert though!

This site says they are a cordon variety and you should remove side shoots.

Given your predicament I would still train both as cordons.

All tomatoes are semi-bush strictly speaking I guess...

See what others think.
