What are the largest plants you have grown?

[tomatoguy]

I realize that we aren't growing plants for plant size but I think it would be good to see what plants get really, really big. I started thinking about this subject when I realized that I had probably made a mistake by putting Belgian Farmer's Beefsteak in a container this year. It looks like it is going to be huge. So, without further ado, here is my list of the largest varieties I have grown in the past. Please share yours.

1. Granny Cantrell's German Red - 15 1/2' monster plant was the largest I have ever grown.

2. Polish C - This one got huge too with the largest leaves I have ever seen.

3. Ashleigh - The variety that has produced the largest tomatoes on average also came from a sizeable plant.

4. 4th of July (hybrid) - While not an imposing, massive plant, this one always tended to really stretch out for me, especially when I used trellises. When they other plants would wane in the heat, this baby would take over their turf.

5. Rose - Not to be confused with Russian Rose or Rose de Berne, this one grew tall and set tomatoes high. I haven't seen too many beefsteaks hanging 8 feet in the air but Rose is capable of this.
