Tomato Factories:
More for Your Money

By Robert Laurence

Some modern tomato varieties are so prolific that they are virtual tomato factories. A number of tomato plants actually grow more than twenty feet high when trained against a building, and several gardeners claim to have harvested 250 tomatoes from a single rampant vine. There is documentation of a sprawling, unstaked California plant that "covered a space of eight feet square" and yielded 170 pounds of fruit before frost killed the vine. Many 'super tomatoes" are capable of such heavy fruiting, with proper watering and fertilization, but below are some of the best plants for gardeners out to break production records:

  • Boatman Miracle Climber Giant Tree

  • Climbing Trip L Crop Jung's Giant Climber

  • Lakeland Climber Ponderosa Vineripe

  • Oxheart Terrific Trellis 22

  • Winsall
