Climbing Trip-L-Crop
Ok, calling all super Tomato growers! Treat this monster correctly, and you will have a 25ft. freak show! This is the variety I have seen for years in the cheesy slick Newspaper adds, along with Blue Roses and other horticultural foolishness. Usually it is called "Italian Tree Tomato" or some such thing along with a photo of some dork with a bushel basket full of Tomatos on top of his shoulder while standing on a tall ladder. Well, in a way, it is true but only if you are a dedicated gardener. Genetically, this variety is capable of growing to amazing lengths if you put the pedal to the metal and really fertilize and water etc. So, are you up for the challenge? If so, you will be rewarded with a ton of red, medium to large size, meaty fruit. Great if you are a canner. As a bonus (well, maybe not, but still cool) Trip-L-Crop has the Potato leaf trait. Makes it look a bit different from typical leaf varieties. Give it your best shot, send me a photo and I will include it next year! (please do not stand on a tall ladder balancing a full bushel of Tomatos on your shoulder)
