| My Amana Orange and White Beauty tomatoes have really outgrown the 54" metal cages I'd provided them. With their late blooming fruit and a big wind their branches have severely bent downward. What's the best way to support these large growing varieties? TIA |

| I use a mix of Texas Tomato cages and 8' plastic covered metal poles. For the taller tomatoes like Sun Gold I use both. |
|
| Just let them cascade, if there is room around the cage. Anothe option would be to tie 3 or more stakes to the cage (extension) and tie the branches to them. |

| Yes, tie the cascading branches to poles. |
