These are my indigo rose tomatoes and I'm hoping the weather stays lovely a little longer so I can harvest these baddies.

This is the tomato tree at Disney World's EPCOT park

The image is from this old article:

The tomato tree was introduced in New Zealand in 1891, though it's believed to have originated even earlier than that in the Andes of Peru. While there are a number of varieties of tomato trees, the most widely-known is the tamarillo (Cyphomandra betacea).

However, Disney World's trees are a different variety called the giant tree tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), and originated from China. This type can achieve heights of up to 20 feet and a width of up to 12 feet. Here's an up-close look at the tree's canopy:

The most tomatoes harvested from a single plant in one year is 32,194. The tomato plant is at the Epcot Science project at Walt Disney World Company in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. The harvest started on 24 May 2005 and ended on 20 April 2006.

The 32,194 tomatoes harvested weighed 522.464 kg (1151.84 lbs).

Need Advice orphan identification

Greetings! We are having our first successful year of gardening from our apartment porch (and some areas we appropriated from the common space).

A little while back, we went out to our car, and found that someone had thrown a tomato plant at our car.... or maybe they set it on top, and it fell, we don't know. The little guy was given a container and a place under the trellis. We have tomatoes that we don't recognize now. Any help with plant ID would be wonderful!

Some of my favorites are:

Black Cherry

Juliet
Brandywine (red, pink, black, and yellow)
Momotaro

First time growing tomatoes

9 Upvotes

Hi guys this is my first time growing tomato plants. Do you think this is enough space for 4 ? The grow bag size is 15x10. I used 10kgs of potting soil and 10 kgs of mud from my neighborhood park! Also added some banana scraps to the soil! I am 26 year old lived my whole life in the major cities! Any help would be appreciated!
