The vines are so vigorous that we recommend wire cages to hold up the plants and tomatoes. They are also useful for almost any dish that would benefit from rich tomato flavor. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. The huge tomatoes can reach up to 2 pounds. Pole Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter.
