The very large tomato thread

I may have written this before, if so forgive my lack of memory, but I have never in a whole lot of tomato growing years had a fused blossom or one of those monsters. Is this a result of differing weather conditions? or differing geographics?

It seems like fused blossoms occur in the southern regions more than up north even though we have heat and humidity just not like Alabama.

Genetics also,all of my plants throw huge megas and I'm in Washington so I don't think geography has anything to do with it, mainly genetics!
