Cherry Tomats.
I am growing cherry tomatoes for the first time and don't know if I need to remove the side shoots like I do on other tomatoes. H-e-l-p !!

Yes, unless you want bushes.

Depends on the variety. I have dwarf, low growing ones called Balconi red and they are self branching. Most of the others such as Ilde or black cherry will need de-sideshooting.

Venus and red robin and megabite are bush too and each just do their own thing, the first two have baby toms already
