Default Tomato Fruit Size

Hi Everybody,

This season for me involves "Monymaker" type/breed
tomatoes. And, here in the southern hemisphere, we are
just approaching autumn. I have many green fruits, and
have eaten a few (small) ripe ones.

So, I am wondering...

When is the ultimate/maximum size shown for the fruits
on this variety?

For example, when they change colour, have they already
reached their maximum size? Is the growth only going
on when they are green?

Or would they continue to grow in size, if I left them
on the plant after the colour change?

And how does this relate to a variety being Determinate
or Indeterminate?

Thanks... (Bite, Yum!)
