What is the difference between a determinate tomato and an indeterminate
tomato?
Determinate types grow to a certain height (generally 3 to 4
feet). They stop growing once fruit sets
on the top bud. All of the fruit ripen
over a short period of time, usually 1 to 2 weeks. Indeterminate types grow and produce fruit the entire season until killed by
frost. The plants will continue to flower, set new
fruit, and ripen, all at the same time throughout the season.
