Transport would be in a closed vehicle -- a van or maybe a box truck. We don't own a pickup. But, hmmmm....I wonder if bubble-wrapped cages in a pickup might be easier. Once I find out how much it will cost, it may well be that I will decide I don't need the $64 tomatoes!
So far the tomato plants are about 4 ft. high with cages. Rebel Yell, Black Krim, Indigo Kumquat, Ace. Also Aztek, which is a small plant, under a foot, but is in one of the big pots. I can weave the branches back into the cages a little as they grow, to keep them inside the cages. I'm concerned about the jostling of the whole plant, not about any wind damage, since they will be inside a closed vehicle. Maybe I should also be concerned about heat! Or drive at night, when the traffic isn't as frenetic.
