Nope, I let it develop into a 6' x 6' mounding mass of vines and fruit. I was expecting 12oz to 1lb fruit, so the size was shocking.
If I could only grow 1 plant in a pot it would be Cherokee Purple in a 40 gallon tub. For my tastes, I haven't found a better tomato. Once you start taking slices off of it, the remainder will keep in the refrigerator for at least a week.
