I am growing this variety for the first time this year.
It is described online as both indeterminate and "semi-determinate" in different places.

It is described as indeterminate by the seed company that created the variety – it is part of their CotC line.

So I am curious to know from others who have grown this – what is its actual growth habit?
I usually grow my plants with 2-6 growth leaders… but I am growing this one a bit bushier because of this uncertainty.

Mine grow over 8 feet tall and they are delicious!!
Mine hit about 5 to 6 feet tall in my greenhouse, and they continually produce suckers and flowers and fruit, but I’d say they don’t get as massive as some other varieties. They take the heat much better and I get great yields in the greenhouse through the summer in Wyoming.
