I've been prowling the web trying to work out how high they grow, but there are that many varieties, I cant get a definitive answer. On top of that, I don't know which variety I have because I was given them. It came as a suprise that they were determinate! The way they are growing, I can't see me bothering next year. Sprouting shoots all over which will all need supporting somehow? Trusses are actually shooting off the branches of leaves rather than a stem. Any advice?

I grew them last year, they were a bit of a mish mash as you say. I don't even like the taste of them.photo album of my garden in my profile http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...my+garden.html

I cut off a lot of the large leaves (removing all leaves below a truss of fruits). The fruits are pretty heavy so you will need to support those trusses: I tie string round the stem, which the other end of the string tied to the eaves (?) of the ghAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

just looked on the web and it says 4 feet, don't think mine were that tall.
I basically just left mine to get on with it, I staked them at first but it soon became clear they are not a stake shaped plant so I just let it sprawl, or rather grow into a bush shape, so they actually required the least work out of all my tomato plants so from my point of view I would say they are a better plant for the 'lazy tomato grower'.
I mean is you have the space you could just leave them to it and they would just grow into some bush shaped blob
