Collapsing Tomato Plant d/t fruit weight

My Foot Smells · June 12, 2017

Has anyone had a tomato plant collapse due to weight of tomatoes? Got one I have tied up, but still sagging. A branch that has about 12# of tomatoes on it just crumpled to the ground.

Maybe all the rain and overcast skies has made the plant soft and too flexible. Only one plant has done this, others are managing. The TTC I use seems too big at times until late stages, as the plant had room to flop with a batch of 6 (approx. 1lb) tomatoes on the ground.
