Inside Epcot’s “The Land”
27Jul2007 Filed under: Disney Author: Dr. DisneyFrom inhabitat.com:
Look at what you can do with vine plants (like tomatoes) when you remove the constraints of gravity. This amazingly huge “Tomato-tree†with thousands of ripening tomatoes all on one plant, was achieved simply by providing a matrix of structural support for the entire plant, enabling it to grow much bigger than it ever could under ordinary circumstances where gravity would be weighing it down. I’m guessing that some crazy fertilizer or genetic engineering might have had something to do with the prodigiousness of the plant as well - our intern guide wasn’t very clear on the exact nature of the giant tomato plant. The link has some nice photos taken on the “Behind the Seeds” tour. - Dr. Disney
