On 21 january, the staff of the expo gave a press briefing to nine groups, using regular seeds, which were later combined with specialized planting techniques to develop the full potential of the tomato plant and to grow the tomato plant into a tree. Tomatoes are the same as ordinary tomatoes。
According to the above-mentioned staff, the cultivation model of tomato trees is currently limited to displays and does not produce a quantity, which is not available to farmers in general because of the lack of such space and altitude and the difficulty of managing costs。
Asked whether it would be possible to achieve production in the future, the staff member said: “it is now generally agricultural parks that consider planting because tomato trees are highly demanding in terms of environmental conditions, technology, etc., and the risks of planting are high. It does not matter how many of the hundreds of tomato seedlings are planted on an acre of land in the homes of ordinary people, or how many of them die, which does not affect the overall income, but the tomato tree alone covers more than 100 square metres, and the damage is substantial if it is not planted.”
In 2024, the shandong network of china reported that there was a large-sized “treadplant tree”, which was planted more than 2 metres high, had a crown cover of more than 150 square metres, had hundreds of growth points on the tree, and was covered by large and small tomatoes. “this tomato tree, which is based on conventional, high-quality vegetable varieties, is known as the `trigger tree' by means of a complete cut, nutrient control and environmental regulation technique
“this form of aerial cultivation is not only of high quality but also of high value.” according to the staff member, the single crown of the tomato tree can be 14 metres or more, the roots are highly grown, with a one-time harvest of 20 years, with the cumulative result of a single tomato plant of more than 3,000 kg for long periods of time and time in the province, applying for the largest in the world of kinis, shanghai, in 2018, to be rated as “the most productive tomato tree in a single year”。
