I have a difficult time believing that DTM isn't affected by the size of the plant/stage of development when the tomato is planted. Also, I haven't noted a great deal of consistency with predicted and actual days to maturity.
Carolyn is right I apologize I was thinking on pure productivity.

I have a short growing season here in Texas too, strange as that may seem.
