Year around tomato harvest is possible, but, not from one plant. Our summers are too humid for most varieties and they rot in the night time heat and humidity.

Winter is the season for commerical/field crop tomato harvest.

I have one supplier that went to Hawai'i and brought back some hybrid seed for summer planting. They weren't very productive and they had to be grown in the shade to beat the heat of summer nights.

The only place I have lived that had perennial tomato plants was Brownsville, TX. The plants had very few fruit in summer, but, winter was great. I had a Army buddy that grew one plant of cherry tomato that got to be 12 feet across. Wish I had a photo - it was impressive.

I am big on flowering plants>
