how big roughly will a marmande tomato plant grow?
Tomato plants?
The marmande has a determinate growth, that is, it has been bred to grow to a fixed height of round 60 cm, (2 feet), but it spreads to about twice as wide as it grows high . So allow it plenty space to grow.
Reply:I don't know what variety your one is. Last year my cherry tomatoes grew to about five/six foot tall.
Reply:about 24" tall and about 20" around. Roughly
Reply:You want to pinch out the tips and cut off excess side shoots to encourage the plant to provide more fruit. Around five feet is the right kind of height. And make sure you give it lots of tomoto feed to encourage growth - Tomotorite is the best (I think that's how it's spelt). We usually put our tomoto plants in big pots on the patio and get loads n loads of fruit.
