I’m not an expert, but I get the vibe that for canning purposes, determinate varieties are preferable so that there’s enough fruit ready to harvest at a specific point in time to make canning worthwhile; however, while browsing tomato seed catalogs, I see indeterminate canning/pasting varieties such as Amish Paste (“Amish heirloom variety produces paste-type fruit with an oblong oxheart shape; 8 ounce tomatoes are solid with an outstandingly good, sweet flavor; indeterminate; 85 days”) and San Marzano (“Excellent for canning, tomato paste, or puree; rectangular pear-shaped, 3-1/2 inch long fruit with mild flavor and meaty texture; bright red color; indeterminate; 80 days.”). I like the idea of indeterminate tomatoes for things like salads and sandwiches so I can pick whatever is ready throughout the season, but is there something else that I’m not thinking of for these indeterminate canning and paste style tomatoes?
