Articles by Category: indeterminate tomato plants
Vine tomatoes are also known as indeterminate tomatoes or sometimes cordon tomatoes. These are the varieties that need to be pruned in order to limit the growth to a central stem consisting of around 4 to 6 trusses.
The actual number of trusses you decide upon is really dependent on whether you are growing your tomato plants inside a greenhouse or outside and how long a growing season you have.
There are a couple of ways for approaching tomato growing in a greenhouse, you can either dig and prepare the soil of the greenhouse ready to accept the tomato plants or you can grow the plants in a container such as a plant pot (12″ diameter) or grow bag.
Realistically most grow bags that are available, which can be 35 or 40 liters in size, are only enough to support two plants.
