If pimp x lycopersicon is this vigorous I can only imagine what the cross with penellii,which is more distantly related,is like.My cross is currently 5m tall and 15th truss is ripening...It's a monster.The fruits are 18g and there's 20 on avarage on each cluster.That's over 5kg of deliciously sweet cherry tomatoes,and counting.My other hybrids have more than 5kg so far but I doubt they'll keep up with this monster for long.
