Yep. that happened when I did it, too. Didn't find it was as

I bought some "Tumbling Toms" for a hanging basket just to see how
they grow. Not a sign of any tumbling they just look like normal
determinate toms to me, growing skyward.

I've had the same with the tumblers (Makota? Can't remember how it's
spelt!) when they've been in pots, but once I put them in baskets and
put them at a bit of an angle to make them go outwards, they are
still going upwards, but more bushy. I think once they get fruit
they will head downward!

Ours are all hanging downwards and heavy with fruit which I hope is
going to ripen quickly!

Sacha, yours are heavy with fruit. But did yours go skyward before the set?
I have seen people hang marbles to get them to "dangle". LOL They will only
dangle with a full load of tomatoes. IMO anyway. AND they are just ordinary
common or garden type I am sure. I am happy to be proved wrong and will be
less cynical. I just think it is a con.
