Determinate growth habit tomatoes
Determinate tomatoes have limited growth: the plant reaches a set height and then concentrates its energy on fruit production. The harvest is generally abundant and concentrated over a shorter period. This type of tomato is well-suited to well-organized gardens, cultivation without very tall supports, and those who wish to process or preserve a large quantity of tomatoes at once.
