\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Enormous Plum is a vigorous indeterminate<\/strong> variety that produces genuinely massive, red, plum-shaped tomatoes, with some reaching up to 21 oz (600 g). The mid-season vines are tall and robust, easily topping 6.5 ft (2 m) in a greenhouse. Growers praise the fruits for being incredibly meaty with no green shoulders or hollow cavities, making them fantastic for processing or fresh eating. However, the plant is sensitive to high heat and may drop blossoms during hot summer stretches, which can lead to bare spots on the vine and lower overall yields. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Seeds from V. Redko, first time growing it. This was my standout variety of 2016. No downsides so far. Indeterminate, strong tall vine. Not a late season one. Yield is just amazing!!! Fruits are massive red plums, slightly ribbed. No green shoulders or hollow cavities inside. Taste is excellent, perfectly balanced, flesh is tender and juicy. The plant even threw out a few huge double hearts.<\/p>\n

Hey folks, has anyone grown Enormous Plum in a greenhouse around the Midwest or similar temperate zones? How tall does it actually get? I’m planning to grow it this season and trying to figure out where to stick it in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I grew Enormous Plum in the greenhouse, got five massive plums across three trusses. I accidentally snapped the top off the vine right after the third truss, and I had already pinched out all the suckers by that point. New suckers came on way too late and nothing else had time to set. Vigorous plant, mine got to about 5 feet (1.5 m). If I hadn’t broken it \ud83d\ude42 it easily would’ve hit 6.5 feet (2 m). Fruits are meaty, but mine turned out pretty bland and the yield wasn’t great. Then again, we barely had a summer, so they probably just lacked sunshine.<\/p>\n

Did the size actually match the name? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And another thing. Did I understand right, you pruned it to a single stem from the start?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Size definitely lived up to the name, the fruits are huge. And yep, single stem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks. I’ll think on it. I’ll probably risk it anyway. I just really love that fruit shape. And if they’re huge on top of it…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Grew two plants of Enormous Plum in the poly greenhouse in the center bed, they reached over 6.5 feet (2 m) tall. During the hot July days it dropped blossoms, so the middle of the vine ended up looking completely bare. Yield was just average. Tomatoes were tasty, weighing up to 21 oz (600 g). Seeds from Lena Stolin.<\/p>\n
