In commercial glasshouses where tomato plants are grown for around 10 months
they get to 30 or more feet long.
the plants are grown on strings, and as the fruit is removed from the lower
part the plants are lowered and the bare stalk is laid along the ground and
the new section of the plant is trained up the string.
