In 2012 we raised 109 tomato plants from seeds of DOCUMENTED weights of varieties which have been demonstrated (or claimed in a few cases) to grow to 2 lbs. or more. Following is a table of those 109 lineages. I am in the process of organizing pics and compiling results of this endeavor and will update this table once that effort is completed.
Following this list of 109 is an overview of the largest specimen of 59 varieties produced by Delectation of Tomatoes through 2012.
