BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
1. Plant Type: Tomato plants are typically annuals, meaning they complete
their life cycle within a year. However, in favorable climates, they may
persist as perennials.
2. Stem: The stem of a tomato plant is typically herbaceous, meaning it is
non-woody and flexible. It can grow both upright or as a sprawling vine
depending on the variety and support system.
3. Leaves: The leaves of a tomato plant are compound, meaning each leaf is
composed of several smaller leaflets. They are typically arranged
alternately along the stem and are usually covered in fine hairs. The leaves
can vary in size and shape depending on the variety.
4. Flowers: Tomato plants produce yellow flowers that are typically 1 to 2
centimeters in diameter. These flowers are borne in clusters and have a
distinctive five-petaled shape. They are hermaphroditic, containing both
male and female reproductive organs.
5. Fruit: The fruit of the tomato plant is technically a berry, though it is commonly
referred to as a vegetable due to its culinary uses. It varies in size, shape, and color
depending on the cultivar, ranging from small cherry tomatoes to large beefsteak
tomatoes. The fruit typically starts green and ripens to yellow, orange, red, or even
purple, depending on the variety.
6. Roots: Tomato plants have a fibrous root system, with a primary taproot that
branches out into smaller roots. These roots help anchor the plant in the soil and
absorb water and nutrients.
7. Height: Tomato plants can vary widely in size, with determinate varieties typically
reaching a height of 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters) and indeterminate varieties
growing taller, sometimes reaching heights of 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) or more
if provided with appropriate support.
8. Growing Habit: Tomato plants can exhibit either determinate or indeterminate
growth habits. Determinate varieties grow to a certain height and then stop,
producing a finite number of fruit clusters. Indeterminate varieties continue to grow
and produce fruit throughout the growing season until they are killed by frost or
other environmental factors.
Types of Tomato Products
