5 Reasons Why DETERMINATE TOMATOES Are BETTER Than Indeterminate

Determinate tomatoes are often overlooked by gardeners, and it's time to change the culture because they are better performers than indeterminate tomatoes! In this video, we discuss 5 reasons why determinate tomatoes are BETTER than indeterminate tomatoes! When most gardeners think of a tomato plant, they think of the classic indeterminate tomato vine that requires vertical staking or trellising and grows throughout the summer. Determinate tomatoes are different. Most grow into bushes no taller than 30-48 inches and produce huge yields of tomatoes that ripen over a short period of time. Growing these small, compact, heavy yielding plants make tomato growing SO MUCH EASIER and more fruitful. I also show you how to prune and maintain determinate tomatoes, which is MUCH times easier than managing a tomato vine! As an added bonus, we discuss dwarf tomatoes, which provide the flavor, quality and size of heirloom tomatoes in a compact plant.
