Indeterminate - This is the most common. They grow and produce new fruit all summer into the fall, even over the winter. I found that those tomatoes during fall do not have a very good flavor. I pull them up in September in order to plant winter vegetables. Cages are necessary since the plants grow large, and the fruit needs to be kept off the ground.
Determinate - These grow to a certain size, bear fruit one time early in the season, then die back. These are the ones that grow in those upside down hanging basket kits.
Beefsteak - Large fruit and ripen late in the season.
Cherry / Grape / Pear - Small fruit varieties. They product MUCH fruit.
Globe - Most common.
Dwarf - Patio type varieties like cherry but larger and grow well in containers.
Paste / Plum - Meaty fruit, few seeds that are desirable for paste. Fruit is rather pear shaped.
- San Marzano does well in No San Gabriel Valley So Cal. It likes the heat, and is a high producer.
