Dwarf Tomato Project - Determinate or Indeterminate?
I can’t seem to find consistent information about which Dwarf Tomato Project varieties are determinate vs indeterminate.
Can anyone with experience growing Dwarf Emerald Giant, Rosella Purple, and/or Adelaide Festival share how you managed your plants? I’m going to be growing them indoors under lights, so I’m hoping to keep them producing for much longer than the traditional growing season.

Try looking at Dwarftomatoproject.net, I think you will find that they are all indeterminate, although because of the short internodes they generally top out between 3 and 5 feet tall. They tend to be far more compact than normal indeterminates and while I have been growing them they same as all my other tomatoes, which is leaving unpruned and tring to a single stake, I recon that they would suit growing in cages beautifully. If you are in a humid climate, it would pay to prune for air flow. Adelaide festival gets up around 3 feet

Rosella Purple also topped at around 3' and were grown in 7-gallon pots. Remained green and productive to frost. Very good-tasting as well so I am certain that you will enjoy it.
