Default Japanese Tomato Tree

I started one of these on a whim. Looks like a tasty tomato. I don't have space in the 'burbs if it is indeed a very large vine. Is it more suited to a farm garden? I will give it to an appropriate home where I can visit it if necessary. If anyone has grown this, please describe its growth habit without any pruning.

I also started a Trip-L. Hope my growing partner likes big vines ?!?

Hopefully it comes with that man because the tomato roof looks like it could collapse any moment.
Doesn't need any water? Since the concrete surrounds his stem.
On aliexpress you can even find seed for bear shaped strawberries.

Nope, for sure that isn't it, and it would never grow that large in my short season climate.

The Japanese Tomato Tree produces Brandywine type tomatoes. I've only seen one description, and its on tatiana's website. It was very favorable. Hence the request for additional descriptions regarding size. A few people must have grown it as I received the seed in MMMM swap.

Re: the photo. As I understand it, that was inside the Epcot Center in FL, and the roots were fed either hydroponically or aeroponically. It's no longer there, and I have to idea how old it was when the pic was shot, but the stuff at Epcot grows very big very fast.
