What does indeterminate growth habit mean?
Indeterminate and determinate growth characteristics pertain to the ultimate size of the plant. You may see these words in the description of a tomato plant. Indeterminate means the vine will keep growing until it is stopped by the outside interference, the gardener, by cutting or pinching when the desired height is achieved. Determinate is just the opposite, the plant will grow to a certain height and then stop growing.
