Variety traits

Tomato plant height

Solanum lycopersicum L.

A morphological trait determined by the distance from the root collar to the growing point, which dictates the choice of agricultural practices, planting schemes, and plant training methods.

In the reference 533 varieties crop Tomato, where this is mentioned in the description.

Tomato plant height is closely related to the plant growth habit. In determinate varieties, height is genetically limited by the number of flower clusters (usually 60–100 cm), whereas indeterminate varieties possess the potential for unlimited growth exceeding 200 cm, depending on environmental conditions and training.

The classification of tomatoes by height includes super-determinate (30–60 cm), dwarf (40–60 cm), determinate (60–100 cm), semi-determinate (150–200 cm), and indeterminate groups. This metric determines the need for trellising, pruning, and planting density to prevent shading and reduce the risk of disease.
