names of different tomato types

Question

I am looking for all the different “types” of tomatoes (i.e. cherry, beefsteak, pear, etc.), not different “varieties.” Also, if possible, a picture comparison chart showing the smallest to the largest in scale.

Your help is greatly appreciated

Bill

Answer 1

Tomatoes are typically classified by seed type (heirloom or hybrid), vine type (determinate or indeterminate) or by shape.

Here is a link to a very extensive database of tomato varieties. I would recommend clicking the tab to view tomatoes by shape - there you will see all the different varieties under shape (beefsteak, bell, blocky, cherry, currant, pear, etc.)
