Urban are you in the seed swap? If so I for one would be interested in growing a couple of plants from seed you've saved from this plant. It might be interesting to see if its a genetic modification, a freak or the way you grow tomatoes.Originally posted by Urban View Postthink I might have this one
bar a couple of ripe tomato's on a lower truss in the background, and a couple of plum tomato's on a plant next to it on the right, this is all one truss, approx 1 meter wide, gardeners delight, not sure how many tomato's but i'm guessing its triple figures
this truss set when we had that warmer weather earlier on in the year, toms are ripening at the top of truss, and just flowers at the bottom, it also got about 3 normal stems growing off the ends off the truss so i'll have to cut them off, I am going to be saving seeds of this plant I think
knocked a couple of toms off trying to separate the truss to take a picture
, so I am not going to disturb it again
oops, pictures a bit big, what size is best for forum?Comment

Urban did you use the maxi crop "original" formula by any chance? or was it the one for tomatoes. If its the original, then maybe good news for me when my trusses set as I have this formula for my tomatoes and veg this year.

My cherry tomatoes did this last year too, I can't remember the variety though

I think it may be a combination of the plant, and those hoselock grow bag watering things I am using this year, I have read that tomato's get a bit ambitious when grown hydroponically, they have a constant supply of water, maybe its a bit similarOriginally posted by MarkPelican View Post
I didn't notice till today when I was tidying the bed next to the greenhouse, that that lower truss in the background that has a few ripe tomatoes, goes all the way to the floor, and some of the upper trusses are big as well
I think this one plant will probably supply me enough tomatoes on its own lol, never seen anything like it before
not sure how to get into the seed circle, but i'll definately be saving some seedComment

Yeh I don't think I'll join the seed circle properly. But I'll send a few seeds to whoever is organising the Circle and maybe they can send a couple of seeds as a bonus to all the seed circle members. Don't need to send me any seeds backOriginally posted by veggiechicken View Post
Hopefully next year everyone has got mega trusses of cherry tomsComment

Urban- I've grown hydroponic tomatoes in an 18l tub. I have limited soil experience having not had any land until my allotment but to share my experiences of "ambitious":
We chose Balconi because of limited space and because they were supposed to form nice small bushes that could sit on the coffee table in the window. What we got was a loooot of long stems- I have to admit I hardly pruned because again, I'm convinced it was supposed to be a determinate variety. Can't say we had a runaway success with amount of fruit provided but we certainly had ample, sprawling vegetation.Comment

Sounds as though you treated them too good. And they didn't feel the need to reproduceOriginally posted by Zonmatron View PostComment

When I bought these seeds I'd never heard of the variety, but along with the tradition started by my Dad, grow something new every year is our mantra. If this lot sets and having finally found a picture of them, they just might, we have a serious tomato over spill coming out way.
The variety...…….?(have a guess)
Might help if I add a picture eh...…………..doh
and yes that is one trussLast edited by burnie; 14-07-2019, 10:16 AM.Comment
