Can a plant with fruit be transplanted?

[kelleyville]

I am between a rock and a hard place here. My maters are huge and full of fruit and some of them ten feet tall or more. We are probably going to move...unexpectedly...tired of the bull from the lease purchase deal we have...what is the liklihood if any of me transplanting these tomatoes and moving them?

They are so tangled now that I know I would have stem breakage, but if I prune, and carefully detangle and top them would they make it being transplanted to five gallon buckets?

Second question...if they made it in five gallon buckets should I leave them there or put them back in the ground?

This is really messed up! Wish it could have waiting another couple of months!

The move will give me way less house and way more garden room so I am half depressed and half excited! The property has a well so no drought problems! This means I could buy the greenhouse that was too big for here!

If possible I would sure like to keep at least as much of the plants that has already fruited!

Thanks for answering yet another dumb question for me!
