Costaluto freebie tomato

[Newbie]

Hello,

This year amongst other types, i am growing Costaluto tomatoes which were free with GYO magazine. It says that they should be grown as a cordon type but mine have got to about 2ft high and the growing tip has branched out into 3 or 4 tips.

None of the other cordon types that i have grown have done this before - so what do i do with it now? Any ideas tomato heads?

Mine did this, so I just chose the best looking shoot and cut off the others. Not sure it was the right thing to do but the plant's looking pretty good!

I'm leaving mine to do bushy.

They are a semi-indeterminate type which means they are somewhere in between. ie best grown with 3-4 sideshoots and require staking. However as the fruits are large and heavy sideshoots are probably best lower on the plant.
