Best determinate tomato for hoophouse growing.
If you are going to grow a determinate tomato in a hoophouse or greenhouse, try BHN 589. Plant is well adapted to hoophouse conditions, and offers a surprising combination of fruit quality, shelf life, and really good flavor. Semi-determinate plants are larger than compact determinates. Use tall stakes to basket-weave. Very high yield potential. 8–10 oz. fruit. Determinate.
Disease Resistance:
- Fusarium Wilt races 1, 2 (High)
- Tobacco Mosaic Virus (High)
- Verticillium Wilt (High)
Use 1 Seed per hole for Tower Farms
Fruiting Crops require a longer time to mature (2 – 4 months based on variety), but they give an abundance of fruits for a long time once they mature. It is highly recommended not to grow more than 1 type of fruiting crop per tower.
Plant only a maximum of 3 plants of Tomato per Tower, and only 1 plant per Tower Pot. Do not plant tomatoes on the bottom-most Tower Pot to avoid DWC (Deep Water Culture).
Tomato Plants require manual pruning for optimized harvests. As the plant grows, cut all “sucker” stems as highlighted in the pictures, making sure to keep only the very first sucker under the first fruiting stem for each plant. If you do not cut the suckers, the plant will struggle to give fruits and will result in a large plant but with very low fruit yield.
Tomatoes require a special cage, check it out here.
