STANDARD TOMATO VARIETIES
Our tomato plants can be divided into two varieties:
- Determinate: (bush) varieties do not need pruning and may be grown with or without support; fruit ripens within a concentrated time period.
- Indeterminate: (climbing) varieties should be staked, trellised, or caged, and pruned for best results; fruit ripens over an extended period.
