SOLVED! - Easily identify Indeterminate tomato plants from Determinate tomato plants.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Very often we forget to label our plants. Especially when you are having to plant a lot of varities. In tomatoes if you forget to label whether they are bush tomatoes or vine tomatoes, the only way (so far) is to wait for the plants to grow.
But with the tip (pun intended) i share in this video, you can easily identify an indeterminate tomato plants (tall or vine tomato plants) from determinate (bush tomato).
This video is the answer to the following questions
1. How to determine if a tomato plant is determinate or indeterminate
2. How to differentiate indeterminate tomato plants from determinate ones
3. How to tell if the tomato plants are tall ones or bush tomatoes
Whether you want to plant the tomato in container or in the ground, the procedure to growing tomatoes from seed remains the same. However, you might want to choose the variety based on where you are going to plant them. Indeterminate plants grow very tall and need staking and trellising. Determinate plants grow 3-4 feet in height.
Do you know the variety of tomatoes that we buy from the grocery store?
Most of the tomatoes that hit the market are grown from short varieties aka determinate variety of tomato plants. Watch this video on how to identify one.

    Thanks for such a simple explanation. I have grown them for years and always thought it was difficult to find out until it stopped growing vertically, but I have never actively looked at the growing tip. The only confusion are the ones called 'semi determinate' like one I am growing now called Cornue des Andes, an Italian type. This puts out loads of side growth like determinates but still retains a growing tip, but the habit is much weaker than a true indeterminate and it runs out of steam at about two metres.

    I’m really still not sure which mine are, and they’re still quite young. Only about 1-2ft tall so far. If I see on my plant that some flowers have already bloomed and some are now starting to produce fruit while there are also completely new flowers forming that aren’t even close to blooming, is that a good indication that it’s indeterminate? I’m also growing in pots by the way.

    I bought a pack of tomato seeds that was a mix of a couple or more varieties. After taking them home to start my seedlings, I realized it said on the back that some were determinate and some were indeterminate (and I realize now I should have figured that out beforehand but I think I grabbed them in a rush). So when I realized I had both kinds in the same pack I realized I had an issue: how the heck am I supposed to tell which is which? It’s obviously important to know because it totally changes the layout of the garden, knowing whether they need a trellis and how tall they will likely get. Now here I am trying to figure that out. Is there any way I can figure it out in the early stages of growth? My tomato plants are 6-12 inches tall roughly, and have to go in the ground may 30th because that’s the planting date but also is when my schedule is free for me to plant them.

    Do indeterminate ones end up flowering higher up than bush varieties? I have a couple indeterminate but I haven't grown veg before, and they are nearly as tall as me but only have a few flower trusses quite high . Is this normal or telling me I did something wrong below? Also, I'm wondering once those trusses have been harvested will any more fruit grow on that plant?? If I cut the truss off, how can it flower again? Thanks!

    Still doesn't easily identify the difference. That determinate tip you pointed out looks like a leaf node and you didn't even show the tip of an indeterminate. You pointed the camera below it. And both varieties will have flowers that come off the side of the stems. I'm not sure how this actually helped anyone.

    Yeah, I was thinking we are only able to find out when it is already too late with determinate ones.😂 I have messed up the labels and have some Roma in the mix and now I've lost patience and rough pruned all the suckers at 2 feet and put them to root just in case. They all have started rooting, so I can hopefully start new plants of determinate ones that aren't skeletons 😂. Dear me I am so co fused. I had flowers left right and centre 😂 and definitely around the top because that is where the plant grows, logically. I have a mix of Romas, San marzanos, Big Tom F1s, Thessalonikis, Costoluto Fiorentinos, and a cherry type god knows. 27 plants and counting, thanks to me being unsure. 😂
