Last year ordered through a magazine and three dead tiny plants arrived - hard won refund. Supposedly grows to 8' in a few months and produces 60lbs of tomatoes per plant.
Still seeing them advertised on Smart Market fliers, etc. Hmmmm
Please share any knowledge of them or your tomato growing tips?

Well I have seen some incredibly bushy tomato vines trained to grow upwards.., but there is a way to prune a tomato called french pruning that I read about in an organic gardening Magazine years ago. You grow a tomato plant in a cage for support and incrementally prune off the lateral branches promoting more top growth. Eventually you get almost a tomato topiary which will produce fruit.

I'm not familiar with the variety you're asking about, but if you know the name of the variety, search the name on Google and see what comes up.
For sturdy plants, pinch off the lower 4 stems before planting. Plant the bush so the lowest stems are just above ground level. This allows new roots to develop, more roots, sturdier plant and higher absorption of nutrients.
Pinch off suckers (stems developing in the "V" between stalk and stem) when you see them first develop. Sucker stems produce fewer blossoms/fruit and take nutrients from the rest of your plant. Use a fertilizer specifically for tomatoes, too much nitrogen will cause the foliage to overgrow...pretty bush, but few blossoms/fruit.
Support your tomatoe plants with a tomatoe cage or stakes to support the plant. You can also call your local County Extension office for more information on specific tips in your area and even send them a sample of your soil to have analyzed. Good luck, hope you have a bountiful crop.

It takes 2 years to produce tomatoes
You need to be in a frost free zone like southern FLA or supply a heat or a phytrotron
It's a rip off
