Anyway, in the recent winds, the combination of the soft stem, coupled with the continual swaying back and forth at that same pivot point led to the stem eventually being severed. The result was a very sad and limp looking plant that was/is being held by little more than a thread.
Not to be discouraged, the next plan of action here is to give the other 2 plants growing in tubs the right way up a few more weeks to develop and turn them upside down
But for now, the UDTP has gone belly up!

So sad!
Your father and I were only just discussing the health of your UDTP this afternoon. Reason being, our tomatoes are in a pretty bad way because of the recent cold snap. We wondered whether your experiment might have produced a healthier specimen.
Now we know.
Hope your next ones fare better.
very interesting-one of the google ads listed on this post rants about udtps - maybe they're not so bad afterall?
