Indeterminate tomatoes: what they are, the best tall varieties for greenhouses and open ground

It is no exaggeration to say that indeterminate varieties of tomatoes, so different and interesting, are incredibly loved by both knowledgeable vegetable growers and novice summer residents. And all this is due to its high yield, easy shaping, extended fruiting and other advantages. However, it is very difficult to keep track of all the new products that have appeared recently. What modern varieties of quite affordable indeterminate tomatoes need to be used in order for the harvest on your site to grow at times, will be discussed below.

What are indeterminate tomatoes: their features, advantages and disadvantages

Important! Be sure to figure out what is the difference between indeterminate and determinant tomatoes, because the difference between these two types of plants is significantly manifested in the agricultural technology of their cultivation.

In indeterminate varieties there is no height restriction (height from 2 meters and above, but most often from 1.5 meters and above)so they are something look like vines, in other words, as long as there is an opportunity, they will grow up, while continuously forming flower clusters and side shoots on the stem... The first flower cluster in such tomatoes is formed over 9-12 leaves, and all subsequent ones - after 2-3 leaves (in determinant ones - over 5-7 leaves, and subsequent ones - every 1-2 leaves).

When the liana will reach the top of the greenhouse, or already the second half of July will come (the very time of the beginning of active fruiting), you will definitely need cut off the top-top (growth point), otherwise tomatothat will be tied up there, simply will not have time to ripen.

By the way! In the conditions of the Middle zone (Moscow region), their development and fruiting is limited only by the duration of the warm period, which is much shorter than in the South of Russia.

Still distinguish semi-determinant tomatoes (this is, so to speak, an intermediate type between indeterminate and determinant). In this type of plant, the stem height can reach 2 meters (within 150-200 cm). The maximum number of flower brushes is 9-12 (however, the plant can limit its growth after 3-4 brushes, therefore they are most often formed into 2 stems), which are formed after 2-3 leaves, starting also after 5-7 leaves. They are also grown in greenhouses and outdoors only in more southern areas.

Interesting! If we consider the characteristics of many varieties that are officially classified as indeterminate, then their height often starts from 1.5 meters or even lower, and they can also be limited to an average height of 2 meters or less.

Advantages and disadvantages

Talking about advantagesgrowing indeterminate tomatoes, it is worth saying that they:

  • Much more productivethan determinant ones (including due to a more compact arrangement, because they grow up, which meansyield per square meter will be higher, in other words, you will simply be save space in the garden).

By the way! It is indeterminate tomatoes that are grown for the purpose of further sale.

  • Produce for a long period,those. you can harvest the fruits gradually, until the frost (of course, only with proper care).
  • It is believed that their easier to pinch, i.e. you need to form only 1 stem.
  • The bushes are pyramidal, which means they better ventilated, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the likelihood of tomato disease late blight and other fungal diseases.

Unfortunately, tall tomatoes, as a rule (but by no means always):

  • later in maturity;
  • quite demanding regarding care(it is obvious that for a larger yield, for example, more fertilizing or initially more fertile land is required).
  • are more often affected by various diseases (especially late blight) due to the long fruiting period.

Features of growing indeterminate tomatoes

Of course, indeterminate tomatoes can also be planted in open ground, but then you will need to artificially limit their growth in July (cut off the top-top - the growing point), otherwise the fruits simply will not ripen.

Actually, for this, a greenhouse is needed - to extend the warm season for a fuller return of the crop (accordingly, in the open field, the yield will be noticeably lower).

In this way, indeterminate varieties are optimal for cultivation exactly at greenhouse, especially in conditions relatively short summer of the Middle zone (Moscow region). And here in the South of Russia, they can be successfully grown in the open field.

Advice! Planting scheme for indeterminate (tall) tomatoes in the open field and in the greenhouseis usually the same: the distance between the rows (in the aisles) is 80-90 cm (up to 100 is possible), and between plants 45-50 cm (60-80 is possible)... The main thing is do not thicken, otherwise the bushes will simply lack food, including solar (they will shade each other).

As for the growing conditions, any tomatoes like dry and hot enough weather (but not higher than + 30-35 degrees). In such conditions, they almost do not get sick (this is especially true phytophthora) and grow well. Naturally, watering should be done only with warm water and it is imperative just under the root of the plant (not over the leaves!).

By the way! On our website you can find detailed articles on growing and caring for tomatoes:

It is believed that it is indeterminate tall tomatoes that must be tied to supports or trellises (when grown in open ground, since letting them on the ground is a very bad idea), as well as pinching, trimming the leaves, in short, forming.

But it's worth knowing that any tomatoes must be tied up and shaped, even determinant, all the more indeterminate (otherwise you will simply get an impenetrable jungle from many vines, on which there will be very few fruits).

However, the most the main difference when caring for indeterminate tomatoes consists precisely in their forming:

  • The plant itself is usually formed mainly in one stem.
  • However, it differs limiting the growth point and the number of fruit clusters... So, when growing 7 fruit brushes are left in the greenhouse by the bush, in the open field - 5.

  • Sometimes and only in a greenhouse, tomatoes are formed into 2 stems (for example, if you have a short summer).

Note! It is recommended to leave stepsonlocated under the first flower brush.
