Within "The Land" pavilion which is part of the EPCOT theme park in the Walt Disney World Resort at Lake Buena Vista, Florida is this amazingly huge “Tomato-Tree”.
It was achieved by using the "vertical growing technique" in which by providing a matrix of structural supports for the entire
plant this enabled it to grow much bigger than it ever would under
ordinary circumstances where gravity would be weighing it down.
This “Tomato-Tree” produces over
32,000 tomatoes in a 16-month period. It was recognized by Guiness
World Records as both the largest and most productive tomato plant in
the world.
EPCOT stands for “Experimental
Prototype Community of Tomorrow” and was originally intended to be a
futuristic model community based on utopian modernist ideas of communal
living, no cars and no private ownership.
oh I love this one too! What an interesting concept as well!
We saw the tomato trees in “The Land” when we were there in April…your rendition is wonderful.
Happy Monday !!
I would love a tomato tree. My mom has a huge tomato plant in her green house–but not that big. I like the technique you used.
this is just completely beautiful – I can imagine that sitting under this tree with a notebook, the most rich and exciting and magical stories and pictures would appear:-) thank you so much for sharing your wonderful and rich creative world:-)
It only takes a seed to grow into the amazing gift of life. The warmth of the sun, the drink of the water, the breath of the air, and the food of the earth, give way to the food for the creation.
