Chelsea Tomato Growth Habits:

Except for the deep south or other parts of the United States with long growing seasons, Sweet Chelsea tomato seeds are started indoors 4 to 6 weeks prior to the last frost date. After last danger of frost, the seedlings are transplanted two-thirds of the way into the soil. The transplants require trellising or caging, as the vines can grow 5 to 6 feet tall. About 15 fruits grow on each strand, with around 10 vines on the plant.
