This year I bought these three varieties as grafted plants and so far they're doing very well. However I can find no information (on the internet, on the supplier's website or anywhere else) about whether they're cordons (and so need staking) or bush (in which case they should just be left to get on with it)
My guess is that they're cordons, as most varieties seem to be, but it would be nice to know for sure. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Google says Conchita is an indeterminate variety (needs staking); from a photo, Elegance also looks to be indeterminate; and, also from a photo, Dasher looks like a mini-plum and also indeterminate.

Can I throw into the mix San Pedro, I got the seeds in Gran Canaria, I'm treating them as cordons, I googled San Pedro and came up with academic papers and not much else.

The only San Pedro tomato I could track down is called San Pedro Giant. From the photo it's very definitely indeterminate. Looks like a nice tom, too.

Forgot to mention - San Pedro is also referred to as a Spanish tom, so Gran Canaria fits the equation.
