farmerdill said:For show tomatoes, start with a large variety indeterminate, plant in good deep soil, in full sun, prune to a single leader, thin the crown set to one or two tomatoes. You will not get a lot of tomatoes but you will get size.


That seems like the answer I was looking for. They get plenty of sun, water, and rich soil so the pruning and fewer tomatoes should solve the problem.
