    Amish Paste Tomato

    The plum tomato plants I grew this year took over and were far too busy to be grown indoors.

    I thought that maybe plum tomato's couldn't be grown inside my polytunnel but I've just read about the Amish Paste tomato and it was said that it is grown as a cordon.

    Has anyone ever grown this variety and are they really a cordon?

    Yes, it is grown as a cordon. You have to keep on top of the side-shoots, but they're a very productive plant indeed. I've grown them in my greenhouse (6'x12') for 2 years and I love them

        There's also one of the San Marzano types which grows as a cordon, but they all seem to get muddled with which one is which!

            I find the Amish are quite rampant and are to the peak of the greenhouse now!
            San Marzano for me are more productive, leaves stay green and they aren't a thug like Amish!

              Oh that's what I'm worried about, did you miss side shoots or do you mean its tall. Tall I can handle.

                San Marzano 2 having been great for me this year. Big crop of big rather elongate fleshy tomatos on robust but not overy thuggish plants that can be grown as a cordon easily enough though will need side-shooting, especially during the big growth phase (you will know when that is ). They've beern excellent for cooking, freezer is full of pasta/pizza sauce and there seems to be loads in the GH yet....
