I just found out that the UK division of Totally Tomatoes is no more,they are redirecting customers to Thompson & Morgan whose largest variety appears to be Supersteak how big will this one grow?

I planted Supersteaks about 4 or 5 years ago. The vines are very aggressive and topped out at about 7 feet. Even though I was growing them to can away, and left a lot of fruit on, I had many in the 1-2 pound range. I quit planting them because they are a pain to can and they will split if not tended to religiously. That's my experience with them anyway.

Thanks Monty,that sounds like a good weight for normal cultivation.Choosing what Tomato varieties to grow is proving nearly as hard as what pumpkin seeds.
