I have 23 plants here, 12 varieties. Everything is growing way too quickly for me to control the number of stems. I’m just using cotton string to tie as much as I can to the central hemp string, and occasionally wrapping the entire plant in a big string loop.
Any stem that I can’t reasonably tie up gets pruned.

Nice. My wife would be unhappy as they are planted too close for her. She does not like to pick when they are that close. I have 39 tomato plants planted on 36 inch between rows and 24 inches apart. She still complains a little, but I am not going any farther apart.

No input, but love the setup! What do you do with tomatoes from 60 plants? Are they all heirloom varieties?

40 and 6 here.
Looks good to me. Im not a huge fan of string trellising but that’s just me. Lots and lots of people use it very successfully.

Three leaders? Isn’t the spacing a tad bit tight?. The sensible part of me says try either single or double.

Seems like we had the same idea!
