Who has the Biggest Truss!!

[chillithyme]

I've only just put my tomatoes into their final positions, so I have a few weeks to wait yet. I am taking inspiration from all of the tomatoe trusses on display

Not great light in the GH to take photos this morning...,but how about this one:

Is the paper there so that you can say you have red (read) through them

[Urban]

think 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?

^^^ That's incredible, Urban. Please post some more photos when they ripen.


and if you save some seeds, can you put them in the Tomato Seed Circle please?

Size is fine - saves enlarging it!

will do on both, its a crazy plant, those toms at top of the truss are almost moneymaker size, and the trusses further up the plant are looking like they might be the same

OMG what are you feeding them on

[Scarlet]

Sorry, that's just amazing!! Yes, please can you save seeds

[chillithyme]

Urban wow the truss is gorgeous!

I still haven't closed my mouth after looking at that photo. Going to be wandering around gaping in astonishment for a while...

That's impressive Urban

Aah and here was me thinking this was a good one. One of the trusses from the green grape that scarlet sent me the seeds for. A mere 16. Not in your league

Lord-a-lorks Urban... Hats off to your sizeable truss

[Urban]

OMG what are you feeding them on

Just the usual weekly feed of maxicrop seaweed feed until Tom's where on the first truss. And then a weekly feed of Tomorite since

It's hard to tell how big it is in the picture actually. It's one metre wide at the bottom of the truss. Makes me lol when I walk in the greenhouse. I'll put something in the frame for reference next time

A lot of my tomato plants have big trusses on this year. Only thing I'm doing different is using those hozelock grow bag water reservoir thingies. I wonder if there helping

Might try and keep this plant going through winter, if I keep the plant going from cuttings will it eventually get weaker or will it be just as strong next year?

Has anyone ever had a new stem grow from the end of a truss?!? I just noticed it today on one of the trusses of my Chadwick Cherry. Most peculiar!
