10 lbs per plant is a pretty safe figure. Some will be more, some less. Here are 3 heirloom studies that may help:

Here is a link that might be useful: 2004 trial

Not familiar with the varieties you are growing but as a rule, full size toms should produce about a bushel of toms per plant under ideal conditions. These are types such as Beefsteak, Big Boy, Monarch, Delicious, even Red Zebra.

Two years ago, I was on track for that or maybe more until a drought, with temps in the 100s hit Cincinnati. We got above 95 degrees for 10 days or more in a row and into the 100s for about 10 days. Up till that time, I had a good half-bushel from several plants but after it, I doubt I got another bushel total - from 30 plants.

BTW, a bushel of toms is suppose to be about 54 pounds. I had a volunteer cherry tom this year and got a little less than 1/2 bushel (just over 23 pounds) but it was not a great year.

Hi, I wasn't thinking so much of weight I was wondering how many fruit I would get total. The Neves azorean red is listed as 1-3 lbs the super beefsteak is 17oz-2lb jet star is 10-15 0z and sophies choice is 5-10 oz.

They are all heavy bearing and neves azorean red is described as one of the higest yeilding beefsteaks there is. l

ooking at the 2004 trial it seems that the higher yeilding beefsteaks produced well over 100 tomatoes per plant. After looking at this study maybe I'd get 20 fruit from each jet star NAR and super beefsteak and maybe 10 fruit from sophies choice. That estimate is to high though right?

Also in the trial the soil ph was listed as around 4.5 my soil is 6.7 is that to close to neutral to grow good tomatoes?

Thank you

I'm not sure if it was clear that the weight listings were avg for each fruit not total yeild per plant.

What are considered good yields for these cherry tomatoes?
