Tomato Gurus Beefsteak Legend advice please

[ukmastiff]

Lo all, my Beefsteak Legend tomato plants are starting to grow very nicely now in the greenhouse. I have three in a grow bag ( too see if they grow better) the rest are still in 4" pots.

I have read online that they are'determinate' and dont need side shooting.

If this is true is there any other general care advice re this type of plant I need, they are currently about 12" high and starting to get quite bushy
( as im told they should ?).

They look far too good and good strong to ruin and I want to do my best by them.

Regards Mas

Determinate tomatoes are varieties that grow to a fixed mature size and ripen all their fruit in a short period, usually about 2 weeks. Once this first flush of fruit has ripened, the plant will begin to diminish in vigor and will set little to no new fruit.
Determinate tomato varieties are often referred to as “bush” tomatoes, because they do not continue growing in size throughout the growing season. They are generally smaller than indeterminate tomatoes, with most growing to a compact 4-5 feet. Pruning and removing suckers from determinate tomatoes is not recommended. Despite their compact size, staking or caging is still recommended, since the concentrated fruit set can contribute considerable weight to the branches.
