This tomato is indeterminate but does not need bush style stakes. The first wild tomatoes (i.e. botanical) were those brought back during the conquest of Mexico by the Spanish. They were all indeterminate tomatoes. This is why most heirloom varieties and Heirlooms are indeterminate tomatoes. In the wild, an indeterminate tomato plant continues to lengthen and grow endlessly, but it will slow down as the days get shorter and the nights get cooler. This variety will measure approximately between 60-90 cm. The plant will grow in width and not in length. this strain is great for people who don’t have a lot of space to grow. These plants produce on all their branches, alternately, a bouquet of flowers after three leaves (rarely two or four) throughout the production season.
