About Tomato, Heirloom
These varieties have been cultivated around the world for decades or centuries. Heirloom tomatoes tend to be indeterminate (vining, ripening over time) and generally require support unless noted as determinate (bushier, ripening all at one time—good for canning and freezing). All are open-pollinated, meaning you can save seed from year to year. See also Tomato, Other.
