Anybody have a grape-sized tomato plant that has a more

yield?

Juliet.

I grew them for the last two years. I had to surround a large
tomato cage with three other cages to hold all the branches,
and a
single plant provided me with around a dozen grape-sized
tomatoes
starting in early August, and continuing on to early October.
Nice,
sweet flavor, too. I'm very impressed with it.

I should mention that as the season went on, I did get more
cracking fruit, but even tossing out the cracked fruit, my
yield
was high. And part of the reason for the cracking fruit was I
just
wasn't harvesting fast enough.

One tomato produced a whole 12 tomatoes? WOW.
