Determinate or Indeterminate?!

Biscombe · March 17, 2007

To stake or not to stake!?

I've just put a double row of canes in for my cordon tomatoes and in a row next to that I've made a row for determinates, today I planted Hungarian Italian Paste thinking they were determinate (no room for canes! trees in the way!!) DOH!!! I thought I'd better check the other tomatoes just to make sure! I have tried to research but I got nowhere! conflicting views! so I'll ask the experts here!!

Do these need staking, and how tall do they grow?

Tomato Amish Paste
Tomato Hungarian Italian Paste
Tomato Principe Borghese
Tomato Rio Grande
Tomato Roma VF
Tomato San Marzano
Tomato Black Plum

Thanks for any help
