    Anyone have a picture of mature orange paruche tomato plant.
    Anyone grown these toms as i am confused.
    Depending on info source described as Indeterminate, semi determinate or determinate depending on what you read. I got seeds from Fothergills described as vine.
    What is best method to grow this tomato

    I'd never heard of that variety until you posted it on the Tomato Growing thread, so sorry I can't help. Does the seed packet give any advice?

    Could that possibly be the answer then, not one thing or the other?

    If the seed packet say indeterminate then that's how I would treat it. It should not matter too much, by mistake I trained a determinate variety last year as a Vine, I still got plenty of fruit off it, even though it kept on trying to produce loads of side shoots.

    Thanks for that john, pete may also have something. i will treat most as a vine and see how it goes and let one grow as a bush just to compare
