i believe that a single tomatoes plant will produce up to seventeen(17) or greater of tomatoes with just one picking. Then you'll get another picking off of it, so then you'll get another seventeen(17) or plus tomatoes.

This site is a variety study, where the yield was 5 to 20 pounds per plant.

Another article here reflects 6,000 to 8,000 plants per acre with yield average of 40 tons, which is 10 pounds per plant (dependent on variety, weather & soil).

Texas Website: 100lbs per 100 feet which is 2 pounds per plant.

The answer to this question is actually less obvious than you might think for 3 reasons.

1. The specific species of tomato plant, roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes are from three different varieties of plants, and each one will produce at a different rate.

2. The environment plays a large role in this as well. While a greenhouse kept tomato plant (which probably gets better water and proper fertilizer mixes and pest control in addition to being kept protected from less ideal weather conditions) will outperform an identical plant that is outside, this changes the total produced tomato volume and mass, this does not change differences in species.

3. Most tomato plants once they start producing will continually produce until something changes to cause it to stop producing (lack of food/water/suitable weather). Though this ties to #2, it is worth noting that a greenhouse raised tomato plant will slow down or stop producing in the winter due to lack of light and lack of temperature, unless the greenhouse is heated properly and artificial lighting is added.

From personal experience, I've had 3 tomato plants that were producing for in excess of 2 years continuously. Averaging of 3 pounds (1.26 kg) of tomatoes per 'harvest' picked twice a week. At 2 years (104 weeks), 6 lbs per week (624 lbs total) across three plants with light care (sheltered from harsh weather, kept watered, and 7-8 hours of light per day) that averaged out to 208 lbs (94.5kg) of tomatoes per plant.

If I were raising Cherry Tomatoes or Roma tomatoes I am sure these numbers would be different, but these were "beefsteak" tomatoes.

One way to categorize tomato plants is by their life cycle. Tomato plants will grow, produce flowers and when pollinated or fertilized they will produce fruit containing seeds. Deterministic varieties of tomato plants will than die out. Non-deterministic plants will continue to product flowers, fruit and seeds for as long as growing conditions exist.

This question cannot really be answered precisely. Each variety of tomato was breed for a purpose, whether to bear multiple fruit in one large crop like the LaRoma (great for canning), or whether to bear large fruit indeterminately like the Ponderosa Red (1 lb. fruit that are great for cutting). Then there are cherry tomatoes and stewing tomatoes. Bottom line, determinate tomatoes bear in number at one time, indeterminate tomatoes bear gradually. Other variables in fruit production are lighting, water regularity, soil elevation and pH levels, and overall care of the plants. For maximum production, pinch the suckers, do not allow the roots to sit in water, do not allow he foliage to grow to thick (pinching suckers will help prevent this), mulch your vines, space them as directed, support the vines, and plant them with Bone Meal or whatever soil amenities recommended for your soil type.
