An indeterminate never stops growing until it dies.


So basically, a determinate tomato will grow to a specific size, ripen,
and then you eat it. (Are Romas like this? The ones that cross

No. It means that the tomato PLANT grows to a certain size, It tends
to set most of its fruit at one time. Useful for commercial growers.
