PanAmerican lists a mature height of about 24–36 inches and a width of 18–24 inches. Tomato plants have small yellow flowers and green foliage; mature fruit size and timing can vary with climate and growing conditions.

Give the plant adequate room and use a cage or other support as fruit develops, following local tomato-growing practice. Tomatoes are warm-season vegetables and should be planted outdoors after frost danger has passed. ## Maintenance Water consistently and check plants regularly as fruit grows. Harvest ripe tomatoes promptly and rotate tomato-family crops to a different bed in later seasons where possible.
