Tomato Seedlings Vine Or Bush

[potiche]

Don't know variety of cherry tomato seedlings but I've started to remove the seed leafs & notice side shoots forming from the first growing leafs. They only have 2 growing leafs & the stems are strong. My previous experience is with vine varieties when side shoots didn't appear until the plants were much bigger. Does this look like a bush variety? Is there any way to identify bush from cordon varieties?

Sorry, I'm not sure what variety you have, but even so, unless the seed leaves (cotyledons) have become diseased, I would leave them on the plants, to allow nutrients to be absorbed into the developing plants.

Was told it's a help to nip them so nutrients all go to growth leaves Chip. I'm just wondering whether to nip off these side shoots but probably not cos they might be a bush variety

Any tomato variety will grow as a bush unless you nip out the side shoots! But leave the seed leaves alone.
