In contrast, vining or indeterminate varieties will grow and set fruit throughout the season. Not only do trellises keep vining plants off the ground, protecting them from a variety of pests, diseases and foot traffic, they also ensure plants receive adequate circulation and sunlight. For determinate tomatoes, a simple tomato cage or patio container will do. It also means their height is limited and tall trellises are not necessary. This makes bush varieties excellent for canning. Bush tomatoes grow for a shorter season, setting and ripening their fruit during a concentrated period.
The first thing to consider when planning your tomato trellis is whether you are growing vine (indeterminate) or bush (determinate) tomatoes.
