Thunderbird does much, much better than that. I'm growing it and Cherokee Purple now. I'm getting 10-12 ounce fruits. Might investigate what's going on other than the variety.
I appreciate you commenting. This is my first time growing Thunderbird tomatoes. I'll be the first to say, tomatoes are always the hardest thing for me to grow here. We do much better with growing perennials. To be honest, these are from HEB, so they aren't the best starts in the world. Cherokee Purples are one of my favorite tomatoes and have done fairly well in past seasons. Now the hurricane has destroyed our tomatoes, so we'll have to try again later. Where did you get your Thunderbird seeds or starts from?
I pulled out tomatoes due to storm damage and discovered that they had root knot nematodes. Our carrots are also infected, which may explain why so many tomatoes are struggling in this soil.

@@wheretheashwoodsgrow I got mine from Totally Tomatoes, but it's a Sakata hybrid and they're all over the place if you want to order online.
Thank you, so much!
