So I have great success growing indeterminate cherry tomatoes. I’ve been using the green poles with snap on cross pieces but they aren’t tall enough. I grow 8 plants in 3×6’ bed. Any trellis suggestions for my particular setup? Pic is from August 2025.

What kind of tomatoe is this? Beautiful plant
Look at that foliage! Your plants are flexing like a bodybuilder, no wonder the trellis can’t keep up 😂

2-3 layers of trellis netting like this might work?
Have you ever considered the Florida weave method? I had great success with it with our determinates surpassing 7’ in height before flopping over.
I suggest the Josh Sattin ‘a trellis to make you jealous’ system, you can then lower and lean the plants as they reach the top of the trellis. Similar to what commercial growers do in greenhouses.
I use that clippy system, nice.
A question. That’s some dense looking foliage. No problems with mould?
all I have to say is DAMN those are impressive 👏👏👏
I do lower and lean because im short and my indetermine vines get to 15’ or more by the end or the growing season
Start with 2x2x8s from a big box store. A helluva lot cheaper than “tomato stakes”… I cut one end to a point by angling 2 opposite sides about 5 inches down to the end with any type of saw that works for you.
