Look up the book “How to Grow World Record Tomatoes”, I forget author but it was an old Alabama guy. We had to fight them off. I had standard tomato plants growing OUT of the tops of 15 foot high cages made with cylindered sections of sidewalk reinforcing mat (Home Depot) and cherry tomato’s that put berry bushes to shame.

It discusses using the methods for other vegetables too. The Authors plants got close to 30 feet high. 17 Foot corn, etc...
