Where is she keeping it is it somewhere it won't be blown over?

Cordon plants are grown as one stem which needs strong support. when they are large enough to handle the small branches appearing at the joint between the leaf and the stem must be removed.

In a gh the cordons are taller than me but in a pot I,d stop by pinching out the top after three trusses.
Less if it gets much too tall.

2' as it is now should soon see the tiny flower truss appearing (don't pinch out the sideshoots until you can see the flower truss.....(I,d hate you to get bit wrong and pinch the flowers out.....it has been known. ;0)

When it has flowered and they fade you should see a tiny tomato appear, now is the time to give a weak feed of tomato food then follow the instructions on the bottle......and hope for a warm summer.....

Bush toms are smaller and easier, no pinching out and early to fruit

Good luck

Thanks for the reply Pamg, she has got the plant in a pot and is kept in a greenhouse, i will pass on the advice to her thanks julien.

Thats good Julien.
They sometimes grow taller in a gh before flowering.
This year I have 6 varieties and they all have different growing
habits some have tiny toms and others tight buds at the moment depending on the variety, its a fascinating project.

If its hot in the gh I wet the floor in a morning to keep the air moist and Very gently tap the plant when the flowers are open....its supposed to encourage pollination, I,ve not grown grafted plants, l only know that they are said to be stronger and more vigorous, it will be interesting to know how she gets on

Thanks pamg,

hopefully she will do well with them, i will let you know know how she does with them later in the season, thanks julien.
