I purchased tomato plants and now I cannot tell which plants are the tomato plants and which are regular tomato plants. I need to know the difference in the plants so I can plant them in the right places in the garden. Please help.

The cherry tomato will have smaller leaves and not have such a rough texture. The stock will also be thinner even though they are still small.
Reply:there is a VERY subtle difference in leaf shape for cherry tomatoes.. you might be able to differentiate them that way. With all of the different varieties of tomatoes, that leaf shape difference could be almost indistinguishable..





tough issue.. good luck.
Reply:If your tomato plants have flowered, you should be able to tell which is which. The "regular" tomato plant with have clusters of two or three blossoms fairly close to each other. The cherry tomatoes will have a longer stem the blossoms are on, more spaced out and more blossoms per branch.
Reply:Could go back to place you bought them ... if they are little, just take them with you and ask ...they should know...
Reply:Well, the good news is both those plants want the same conditions. So if you have a place that's "right" for one - the other will do well there, too.





The bad news is you can't really tell which is which until they fruit.
