Determinate: Determinate plants are ‘bush’ tomatoes and only grow until they reach a fixed
size. (Think: a ‘determined’ size.) These plants are shorter and bushy and tend to produce all

Indeterminate: Indeterminate plants are ‘vining’ tomatoes and continue to grow with no
fixed size. (Think: ‘indefinite’). They are huge vines, reaching 6 ft or more, and will keep
producing until frost hits and they die.
