I'm a bit worried about this tigerella tomato, can the plant keep up with the fruit or should I stop it, pull off half the fruit or just leave it to it, your advice will be greatly appreciated :)

No leave it, I have several varieties that look like that. XX Jeannine

yes, our tumblers do, as well..it's just these are supposed to be full sized tomatoes, never had this much fruit on them before, and it's only the one plant, the one next to the mad golden sunrise which is doing similar ;D

look good to me i have quite a lot of toms on my plants and mildreds of flowers but so far toms are tiny, however as i dont know what type of toms they are (B&Q) specials sold me them for 20p each as lables had dropped off they could be cherry toms so lets see :D

If there are too many toms on the truss they may pull away from the main stem when they get bigger and heavier.

Just use some string to support them before that happens.Dont pull any off the truss,thats would be a waste.
