The majority of the varieties tend to bear in trusses of 8 or more fruits, and all have set well even through our heat wave. They are all very productive, but the majority are small, in the 2oz average. A nice salad size.

The few larger fruited varieties I have don't have that truss flower/fruit pattern like the rest, but are still very productive. Here is a picture of Muddy Waters with slightly larger fruits on this particular plant. I'm going to guess there are at least 30 tomatoes on this 3 1/2 foot plant trained to two stems (two large fruit clusters are behind the foilage at the bottom of the plant, the light wasn't right to take a picture from that side though) , and a guess at the final fruit size is going to be 4-6 oz. Some of the varieties with smaller fruit sizes that set in trusses probably have 50 plus fruit on now.
