Bicolor Cherry

Starlight · May 3, 2015

Anybody grown it? I have a couple of plants of it and because it's a new one for me, I am not sure what to expect.

Of all the tomatoes I have these two plants are the wimpiest things I have ever seen. The stems are barely a 1/4" wide. The foliage is so heavy that the plants just want to fall over.

I had a small stake holding them up, but all the rain and humidity it started to mold so I pulled them all.

Is it normally supposed to have skinny, thin stems and try and sprawl all over the place ?

My Sunshine Bumblebees last year sprawled even though they were staked and yet they had nice think stems. The SB is my first real experience with bicolors so I don't know if some act different or not.

Is there something I can do to fatten up the stem, to give it some muscle?
