Tomato Plants Indeterminate Vs. Determinate

There has been a lot of discussion lately among our local Plantcycle groups regarding tomato plant varieties. Tomatoes come in two main categories. Indeterminate and determinate. So how do they get these designations? Indeterminate tomato plants will continue to grow during the full season and can get as tall as 12 feet, though 6 to 8 feet is normal. A good example would be sweet 100 cherry tomato, which will literally give you a few bushels of fruit throughout the growing season. These plants will grow and set fruit right up until the first frost. Because of their heavy growth habit, indeterminate varieties need to be staked or caged. Determinate varieties will only grow until the top bud begins setting fruit, and will all mature during the same 2 week period. Determinate plants are also known as bush tomatoes, and do not normally need to be staked. Because of the thick stocky stems of determinate tomatoes, these are not recommended for use in upside down planters. Because of their limited growth habit, determinate varieties are good for container gardens. Since indeterminate varieties will set fruit until the plant dies, it is important to keep in mind of when the end of the growing season is near. You can pinch off any new buds to force the fruit already set to ripen faster at the end of the season. Indeterminate varieties also do better if you pinch off the little sucker leaves that grow in the crotches of the main stem and off shoots, near the bottom of the plant. This allows air to enter that area of the plant and slows any diseases from forming. Did you know that tomato plants are among the easiest plants to clone? Any place that a tomato plant touches dirt, it will set roots. This is why we recommend laying a starter plant in a trench rather than just digging a hole. The more the plant touches dirt, the stronger the root system will be. If you have a few favorite plants, and want more, simply cut off a small section of the plant, and place it in soil. If the section is already setting buds, simply pinch those off to promote root growth. Because tomatoes can be cloned so easily, you do not need to use any form of root starting hormones, though they will promote faster growth.
