How to grow world record tomatos - written by Charles Wilber. I'm not sure if Mr. Wilber still holds the current record.

markferon · February 9, 2006

geo Wilbur's record was for plant size only and he does not hold it any more. the current record is 65 ft i doubt it will fall soon. Since the references I posted are all for tomato size not plant size. Nice try, but you will need to search a bit more. I know of several reference I did not include but those did not have enough growing info, historical relevance or other info I found would help those interested in growing a record or prize winner at local fair or weighoff.
