Re: Too Tall Tomatoes

If I remember correctly, Beefsteak is an indeterminate variety. They will
continue to grow taller. You didn't mention the type of fence or how
close the plants are to the fence but if there is someway that you can
tie the plants to the fence or suspend a trellis out from the fence, do
so. Otherwise, try tall stakes.
