I had to look up trifid to find out what a "Trifid" was , I take it you mean
9 feet is exceptional , my tomatoes always end up 9 ft plus the glass house
is 9 ft high and the tomatoes try to climb to the highest point but are
twarted by the heat when contacting the covering , in some circumstances the
commercial growers will growout the plants to about 20 feet is the longest I
have seen and probably could have gone longer . My dream is to avoid going
back to a seedling at the onset of winter.

Cheers Ian in Bendigo.

Nine FEET? Is this a tomato or a triffid?

I don't see why you couldn't do it, though personally I'd just lay a
lateral
across the planter box rather than try to bend the stem.

I don't regard myself as a fanatic. I just have handy milk dispensers.
