Size of plant?

[gorbelly]

I just remembered that http://www.tomatofifou.fr/ has plant height.

The site is in French, but it provides translations for most pages into English. You can select the language at the top of the right-hand sidebar. (Note that most translations appear to be automatic, probably through Google or similar, so they can be strange and awkward and hard to understand.)

Here's where you can get an alphabetical list of varieties. http://www.tomatofifou.fr/recherche-...e-alphabetique

It gives the height in meters, but it's easy enough to convert.

Once again, this doesn't necessarily reflect how a plant is going to grow in any individual person's garden, but comparing with what they have for other familiar varieties can give a general idea of what to expect.

I agree with the previous posters- it really depends on how you prune the plant. And how resistantt to diseases. I routinely get plants that are 10-12 feet tall, primarily because I prune the first two levels of all suckers. I like to have my plants off the ground, away from the dirt splatter when watering. Here is a pic of a Cherokee Purple that was pruned that way:

Thank you.

Very helpful to know natural tendency of a variety. Then I can plan spacing, supports , labor , etc. From Tommy Toe to Triple crop is truly different. Determinates should not be pruned yet some are very bushy. Indeterminate s can be limited to single stem but is yield reduced and labor increased....

Crowding seems to be detrimental to the health of plants.....good air movement can reduce many of the diseases.....

Thank you!!!

A perfect picture!!! Love it. We pruned two plants like that and liked air flow and reduced splashing. The vines reached the top of the cages then bent headed for the ground. This blocked picking fruit inside the cage. Our cages topped out at five feet. Need to reach 8 feet, the highest I can reach.

What support is under your Cherokee purple?
