I grew a big mess of tomatoes. A 15 x 15 area. I didn't cage them as an experiment.
Where every branch touched the ground it rooted and in doing so each branch got bigger and grew more limbs.
This 15 x 15 looked like a wild patch. I should have took pictures.
This damn patch started producing and I picked a 5 gallon bucket plus every day from the time the first ones ripened until the frost killed them.
We canned and ate tomatoes till we were sick. I started giving them away.
I mentioned this because of they way they rooted. Some of the centers where as big as folgers cans.
