That bottom truss is not part of the one above. I'd sure like to hear if any home grower has seen the extra long ones.
It's not a photomontage. I think it's a manner of growing and mainly fertilization (I agree with the Korney 19).
On my picture Charmant F1, I will send you the seeds of this tomato next week. You'll be able to try, if you can to grow plants with so many fruits. I'll try it too.
