Experts, you know who you are (I just thought it to cheeky to ask you by name
)
Attached is a picture of my tomato plant, which appears to have a huge (huge) sideshoot. (I'm basing this on the excellent thread from yesterday, that our experts took part in, and where TK posted great guiding photos). More difficult to see, but at the top it has a decent looking truss, hanging right next to a truss on the main stem.
Chop it off, i hear you say. BUT - due to being distracted when sowing the seed, I don't know whether this is a Banana Cream or Lemon Tree
). Now, banana cream is determinate, and lemon tree is indeterminate.
The other plant, hiding directly behind the one I've queried in the photo, has leaves that almost hang down right from the stem, rather than stand more upright, and seems to have split into two branches. So I'm wondering if this is Lemon Tree.
My questions are:
1) Is it yet safe for me to assume the pictured plant is the indeterminate, ie the banana Cream?
2) If so, should I remove that huge sideshoot?
Many, many, many thanks to anyone who takes the time to help!
