Oh my yes. My neighbor just said they looked like sequoias. Some are now reaching into a dogwood tree above and close by. Never seen anything like this in my garden. Next year I'll have to get more extentions for my texas cages.

We are in Northern Virginia and our tomato plants are touching the top of our 8 foot cage.

Well, in Beaver Falls, PA I have 8 plants from 6 to 8 feet tall. They are well loaded with greenies and I did harvest
about a dozen yesterday-one at least 3/4 pound-a Blue Ridge Mountain.

13 miles west of Beaver Falls, near Negley, Ohio I have my main garden where I have 46 plants going. These plants were put in 2 1/2 weeks later than those in Beaver Falls. They average 4 to 5 feet in height-a few at 6 feet and are absolutely loaded with fruits of all sizes. This garden yielded first on July 10th, 11th, and 12th. on the 10th an Indian Stripe, on the 11th a Bear Claw, and on the 12th an
Early Girl. Only one plant so far has shown any signs of foliage desease, an Eli Red, which seems to have fully healed after one trim job and a spray with Actinovate and Daconil. Wonderfully healthy plants in the main garden.
However, 6 plants in containers by the lake damn near drowned in the June rains and look terrible. Looks like we are heading for a bumper crop and so far the tomatoes are even tasting great!

Here in Vermont, my cherries are all over 6 feet and a few have pushed over 8 feet - Sungold, Apero, Ladybug and Chocolate Cherry.

The large tomatoes are all over 6 feet with amish paste, german green, german stripe and kelloggs breakfast about 7 feet.

All are bearing fruits and we have harvested from nearly every plant - 16 varieties.

It's a jungle!

The repairman who came by my house to fix my dryer last week said they looked like tomato trees.

and how do you pick them 6-8-12 ft high?

Mine are very tall this year as well. The tallest variety in my garden is Great White, with Black Cherry a close second. Early on the Russian Persimmon was the tallest, but it topped out at about 4.5-5 feet tall.

To answer your question on how to pick from tall plants, I am 6' tall with a long reach, so I can reach all mine. I guess I would use a step ladder though if it became a problem, lol.

None of mine are ripe yet this year, I am waiting, rather unpatiently. ;-)

Yes, even our determinate are growing like gangbusters--I think Rutgers are determinate, anyway. :)

It's been a perfect year for tomatoes and peppers. We've had lots of heat and enough rain to keep the plants happy. For many of my plants (except my "midget" Sohpie's Choice), I wired together two Gardener's Supply tomato ladders and placed three of these doublets around each of my staked plants. I've always had great height from the sweet 100 and gardener's delight, both cherry types, but this year most of the heirlooms look like they are using steroids. And, so far no early blight.

No disease infestations, very little pest activity, great tomato-growing weather, and it looks like a jungle out there.

If I knew this was going to be such a great year I would have expanded the garden and put in more than 25 plants. :-)

The two plants in the middle (Claude Brown's Yellow Giants) growing in 6' tall Texas cages are 8.0' and 7.5' feet tall. On one side of them is a Porterhouse plant and on the other side is a Big Cheef plant which are like all my other plants at about 6 feet tall. Pics taken in mid July. Still a LONG way to go here! These two CB Yellow Giants are producing monster sized 1.5 to 2.0 pound fruit on monster sized plants! The thing is though they aren't yellow. The fruits are a dark pink with a clear epidermis. Got a cross. And I'm happy about it! ;-)

I hope I do half as well when the season starts here.

My tomatoes are not growing worth a darn this year.To much heat and no rain.It's only rained at my house I think 4 times all summer and about everyday is in the 90s

I got a big harvest this year, though the plants are starting to succumb to Septoria leaf spot. I think I'll give tomatoes a rest next year, at least in this garden. But it's been great growing weather.

I'm in Scranton, PA and have a Supersweet100 Cherry that hit the 10 foot mark this week:

It's been a very unusually hot and dry summer for our area this year. The complete opposite of '09.

I have lots of 6-7' tomato plants, many without even a small tomato fruit growing. I could not plant them out until at least 6-15, due to rain, and it has been constantly over 100F everyday since then, so none are setting fruit.

The only fruits developing are the ones that set on before they were transplanted out in my garden, except for a few cherry and very small fruited plants that don't seem to care how hot it is.

I have probably 30 of 50 beefsteak tomato plants out there without any fruits started.

I also have a pole bean trellis 10' long, 5' high, with 21 Fortex bean plants growing to the top, with nary a green bean to be seen. They have "bloomed" several times, without producing even 1 small bean.
