I don't have a good grasp of tomatoes.

My rough guess is that ancestral tomatoes were indeterminate and very

Something here on that, and the lack of real genetic diversity:

And we share about 99% of our genetic make-up with chimpanzees, and 70%
with earthworms. We do, after all, come from the same bowl of soup.

As for the tomato, like everything else, it's location, location,
location.
