Size of Candy Sweet Icicle

Is Candy Sweet Icicle a short plant that would do well in a tomato cage? I planted mine with the "big boys" and it seems stunted in comparison.
I usually get away with planting Blush in a cage and I'm just wondering if CSI has a similar growth habit.

Yes. I have and would grow CSI in a cage as it does not get as tall as indeterminates but does get very bushy.

Many thanks for your answer. I'll put a cage around it, and it might be happier than being strung up to a tall cross-beam! I have some of those collapsible square cages that are quite roomy

A timely post as I was wondering if mine was just a runt. Thanks.
I'm growing Matt's Hornet, which I think is a similar looking tomato, and it is already twice the size of icicle.
