Favorite Determinate Tomatoes
I have a ton of experience and favorite indeterminate tomatoes. But I have very little knowledge of the best determinate tomatoes to grow.
What are your favorites? And are there any worth growing for flavor for non-sauce applications that rival the indeterminate beefsteaks? |

I have a bed of determinate and a bed of dwarf tomatoes this year, but I planted late and haven't harvested anything yet. Last year, my favorite determinate was Early Wonder Pink. I also liked (dwarf) Coastal Pride Orange, but it didn't produce a lot. I've repeated both this year.

I do not grow determinate, but I also feel you. Might want to check out some of the Dwarf Tomato Project. They are mostly indeterminates, but they stay about 4 feet tall while continuing to gear fruit like their indeterminate parents.
Here's a link. https://www.dwarftomatoproject.net/ It's the plant, and not the tomatoes that are small. Last edited by Shrinkrap; June 27, 2022 at 09:48 PM. |

I Loved growing the "Elberta Peach Heirloom Tomatoes because of it's beautiful colors, along with Casady's Folly Tomatoes that were given to me my many people involved in Dr. Carolyn Tomato project. But This year My "Red Robins Dwart Tomatoes Took The Show from all my other Determinants selling almost out of Seeds and Plants. I have started 100 more plants to keep-up with the demand, Amen!!! They was the earliest tomatoes this year for us to eat, even our Big Dog took a Red Robin tomato off the table and eat it-up.
