Cherry & Saladette
These tomatoes vary from pea-sized up to where they tip over into small 'salad' type. They are usually very prolific, and some have been bred for high sugars as a snacking 'fruit'. They are very colorful as a whole tomato in a salad, and their size makes them ideally suited to this purpose.

Paste/Plum Tomatoes
These have almost no seed locule, so dry or boil down to paste more quickly than all others. Plum tomatoes often have fine thick flesh and less water and pulp than slicers but a bit more than perfect paste types making them more versatile in the kitchen. This makes them good for holding shape when canned or sliced. Because they have less water and pulp they also cook down quickly for sauces.

Salad Tomatoes
Seed locule (pulp) tends to fall out if they are sliced. Abundant seed pulp makes them a slow reducer if they are being used for sauces. Their smaller size makes them ideal for cutting in half or in quarters to have with a salad.

Beefstake Slicer Tomatoes
Beefsteaks are the very biggest tomatoes. Their pulp cavity is generally relatively small, and always compressed and distorted by the extensive placenta wall, giving the 'marbled' appearance of a steak. Beefsteaks hold together well when sliced which make them ideal for sandwiches. Because of their high fruit wall to pulp ratio, they also cook down well for sauces. There is a lot of variation between varieties in the density of the flesh, it's juiciness, and in the size and softness of the central 'core'. Flavor, as always, can vary, according to the ratio of sugars to acids.

Weight
*Average weights depend on pruning technique, for larger fruits prune 4-5 fruits/cluster.

Growth Habit
I = Indeterminate
Indeterminate tomato plants require staking or caging to support what can become a large, heavy plant. Indeterminate tomato varieties will continue to set and ripen fruit until killed off by frost.

D = Determinate
Determinate tomatoes grow to a fixed size and ripen all their fruit in a short period, usually around 2 weeks. Once this first wave of fruit has ripened the plant will begin to diminish in vigor and will set little to no new fruit.


Disease Resitance
ASC - Alternaria Stem Canker
EB - Early Blight
FF - Fulvia Blight
#FW - Fulsarium Wilt
TMV - Tomato Mosaic Virus
VW - Verticillium Wilt
