S ummary .1 The period between the opening of a tomato flower and the picking of the fruit which develops from it has been termed the maturation period. 2 Usually, the maturation periods of the different fruits produced by a tomato plant vary considerably. 3 The maturation period lengthens as the plant ages, and as the truss lengthens. 4 The graph of the maturation periods of the fruits produced by a tomato plant approaches a straight line as the efficiency of the plant increases.
