Depending on the varietal 7-9 would be a reasonable yield. It may be warmer down here but we have a relativly small window of ideal temp/humidity to get fruit set. July and August temps and humidity can be bruital on tomatoes.
Wow, I never knew that. Our tomatoes start producing in August and keep setting fruit until first freeze. I probably get around 100 tomatoes per plant with each one averaging about 12 ounces. My plants get about 5-6' tall. I make cages out of remesh with 6" openings. They are 3' across and are held in place by fence posts.

So you average 75lbs of tomatoes per plant? While this is certainly not impossible (in a green house or high tunnel under optimum conditions) that is some pretty impressive yields for an amateur grower. I could use some of your dirt for sure.
Edited for bad math on my part...no way this cat is averaging 75lbs per plant.
