where to get climbing tomato plants?
5/24/2016 at 5:47 PM

Have been looking for climbing tomato plants but not too many people know what I'm talking about.These type of climbing tomato plants will grow 8-10 ft tall providing you stake them up . Anybody know where I can find these? Apparently you can buy the seed on the internet but would like a plant that is already started.

In theory, any indeterminate tomato plant (vs. bush-type) can be trained to do that, although I'm not sure if all would reach the heights you're looking for.

I would arm myself with what varieties specifically you're looking for and then try the greenhouses like Green Spot and Patmore.

Amish paste tomatoes grow that high. I have never seen them for sale in greenhouses. They are very good.

I agree that any indeterminate variety with grow very tall as long as you prune all the new shoots and look after it good luck!

I buy the seeds from heritage seeds and start them myself.

They have the seedlings at Green Spot still. I've grown them from seed and they do get quite tall (I'm too lazy to train them though).
