I have 5 ft tomato cages but the plants will probably reach 7 ft and

new low growth or limit it, or do I do what I have done in the past,
sink in a 8ft 1x2 and tie them up. I googled but this I could not find
anything. The best cages I used to have were wire mesh for concrete
and rebar but you need a big place to store them.

Could run a row of wire fencing or plastic snow fencing and tie plants
to that, possibly.

Wow! what kind of tomatoes,or what do you do to get them so big?

If I wanted to grow really tall tomatoes- first thing I'd do is move
to Alaska-- then I'd plant any of the indeterminate varieties. . .
feed and water regularly. . . buy a 25' step ladder to pick them.

You can grow little 20 footers even in the lower 48-
