My april tomato in my greenhouse is producing now!

All summer lots of flowers on this one 6 foot tall tomato. No tomatoes so I put a fan on the tomato to polinate and the small tomatoes started to form slowly all summer. I am getting red tomatoes now. I picked 4 but they are about a 1./3 the size they shuld. They taste fine but not like the summer tomatoes.

Can I cut clips off this tomato and plant them in march to get early plants? This tomato was suppose to be a 1/2 pound long keeper tomato! There are about a dozen tomatoes n the plant now!

Is "April" a variety name? Haven't heard of it. What is it like?
How nice for you to harvest your own tomatoes for T-day :D

As long as the plant is healthy there is no reason you couldn't get some cuttings rooted and continue on till next spring.

But with fresh seeds to be had it is hard to say which way I would go.
