Tomato Types

Determinate tomatoes are typically self-supporting bush varieties, but using cages or stakes can enhance airflow and increase yields.
Indeterminate tomatoes typically grow 1.8–2.4 m tall and require staking or caging for support. When growing in containers, choose one with a capacity of 25–40 litres per plant for best results.
