Fruit per Truss

hudson___wy
10 years ago

We have noticed far more tomato blossoms on the trusses of our German Giant and Brandy Boy (first year we have planted them) - when compared to our Better Boy plants (we have planted them for several years). Better Boy usually sets 4-6 fruits per truss for us.

We were unsure how many of the blossoms would set fruit on the German Giants and Brandy Boy - now we know - we are finding that a high percent of the trusses are setting fruit on 8-12 blossoms per truss? We are growing these tomatoes for our own use and are not concerned about fruit size but are concerned if the trusses will carry the weight of that many tomatoes per truss. Any advice from those who have grown these or similar varieties - should we cull some of these fruits per truss to reduce the weight?
