Tomato plants with ten foot roots
Why I'd have to hire a backhoe to
dig them out in the fall. Then I'd have a big enough hole to put an
inground swimming pool in the following spring........LOL Last year I
did plant 14 Jet Star tomato plants in the ground and I must say that
they produced a bumper crop for me to enjoy. When I pulled them up in
the fall, the roots were much closer to ten inches rather than ten feet
long
It would be quite hard to double dig a garden with such a huge
root system. I pruned each of my plants to a single stem and used
stakes. Each plant averaged between 30-35 nice tomatoes.
