Hanging Basket toms

[oldh]

Hi
I have two varieties of tomatoes in a hanging basket :- Tumbling Tom Red and Tumbling Tiger. My question is , do I have to pinch the out or just let them grow into a small bush?

The choice on pinching out is a personal one, as an example my mother swears by pinching them out, whereas my father is the opposite and won't pinch them out.

Hi Andy, both Tumbling Tom and Tumbling Tiger are determinate varieties so don't need pinching out. Bush / determinate varieties grow their fruit trusses on the end of their branches so by pinching out you could be removing future tomatoes.

Thanks for the info
