Truss? Vine = grapes; Hand = bananas; Truss = tomatoes! Wonder who thought up the use of the word "vine", and in which country. LOL Pam in Bristol AFAIK "vine" is a growth 'habit' of a plant: Vine= twining/climbing plant with relatively long stems, can be woody or herbaceous. Truss=a branch with tomatoes on it. Consequently not necessarily different. I would have thought that 'vine tomatoes' is a marketing term, maybe stretching the term 'vine' as usually used, but not actually wrong. |
