Every year I plant a few tomato plants in my back yard. For some reason mine usually grow to be huge (27 years of mulch mowing? very heavy watering?), sometimes with monster crops. This year I planted a Big Beef and a Big Boy.
The resulting plants were so big they broke my stakes and took down my cross-bars. The Big Boy was 8' tall with a 9'x9' footprint, the Big Beef a more normal 6' cube. My crop was a personal record, 363 tomatoes weighing over 183 pounds, with a few dozen more on the way.
I am going to have to come up with a stronger support system next year.
