The growth of various vegetative parts of the husk tomato cv. `Rendidora' has been studied. The samples for dry mass determination were taken every 1-2 weeks. The life cycle of a plant was divided into 4 phases according to the developmental stages of the leaf area. The plants of cv. 'Rendidora' show 2 main types of growth: prostrated and erect. The plants of the last type showed a tendency to grow less and to initiate their senescence later
