Guess the weight of the biggest tomato ten years from now.

In the past 10 years (2015 - 2025) the record grew by ~ 8 lbs.

So, if it gains another 8 lbs from now until 2035 it should be roughly 25 lbs by then.

Do you thingk is possible?
What do you think?

It could happen but I dont think it will happen... Need to get Dale in Alaska to try tomatoes. Some x-factor missing like longer days or more local seafood options!

'ToMonster' and 'Whoa!Mato' come to mind, as do the need for bigger burgers and loaves of bread. Buy stock now! eg

Another way of seeing it (even more dramatic) ...is that in the last 10 years the biggest tomato doubled its size (from 8 + to 16 +). So, we could theorically double up in 10 years to 32 lbs.
Pumpkins, on the other hans, ONLY added about 600 lbs in the last 10 years.

Most tomatoes harvested from 1 plant is over 1000 pounds, so in theory we know these plants can support 1000 pounds of growth, if theyre given entirely optimized conditions for maximum harvest. Now, to be fair we aren't growing 30,000 tomatoes per plant, but even still...
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a GPC record of 14 or 15 pounds, and an early tomato record could be pushing 20-24. Who knows.
