Determinates stop growing when fruit sets on the top bud. All the tomatoes from the plant ripen at approximately the same time (usually over a period of 1- 2 weeks). They require a limited amount of staking for support and are perfectly suited for container planting.</p> <p><strong>Indeterminate tomatoes</strong> will grow and produce fruit until killed by frost. They can reach heights of up to 12 feet although 6 feet is normal. &nbsp;Indeterminates will bloom, set new fruit and ripen fruit all at the same time throughout the season. They require substantial staking for support and benefit from being constrained to a central growing stem.</p> <script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

Persimmon. The Persimmon tomato belongs to the Solanaceae, or nightshade, family, along with other plants such as sweet peppers, petunias, and tobacco. Their large size and delicious raw flavor (which is best displayed when eaten fresh) classify the Persimmon tomato as a “beefsteak” tomato. Persimmon tomatoes are different from the fruit of the persimmon tree which belongs to a wholly different family, Ebenaceae.</span></h2> <h2 style="color: #004000; font-size: 1.2em;">Nutritional Value<br><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12.8px;">Persimmon tomatoes are high in vitamins C, K, and A.

Some sources state that it was grown by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello, while others claim that it did not come into cultivation until the 1880’s. Still others write that the persimmon tomato was bred in Russia. Regardless of its origins and age, the persimmon tomato has enjoyed a place of eminence among tomato aficionados for generations.</span></h2> <h2 style="color: #004000; font-size: 1.2em;">Geography/History<br><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12.8px;">The tomato as we know it began being cultivated by the Aztecs in Central America. After their invasion the conquistadors brought the tomato to Europe where it was met with mixed reviews. Some countries dabbled with the new ingredient in their cuisines while others met the tomato with suspicion, believing it to be poisonous. However, even Europeans who didn’t trust the tomato as an edible crop, such as the British, grew the fruit in their garden, as they found it to be an ornamental curiosity. This aesthetic appreciation was so strong that the British colonists brought tomato seeds with them when they traveled to the “new world,” though they were not accepted as an edible crop until Thomas Jefferson began cultivating them at Monticello. From Virginia the tomato steadily grew in popularity throughout the United States. Today, tomatoes are the most commonly grown fruit in the world, more popular than apples or even bananas.</span></h2> </div><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>
