@MrandMissConverted - No not because they are on a trellis. Anytime fruit is exposed to the direct sun it can get sunburn in the heat of a southern summer. However when there is adequate foliage (healthy plant so it is vigorous and not diseased foliage) the fruits are protected enough to prevent burn. I like the slanted cattle panel trellis because the fruit tends to hang down behind the foliage which grows up and out toward the sun.
skiprgarden: Thanks so much for that helpful info! My bro & me are growing a square-foot garden, and need a good trellis. Like the ones you showed! We'll deffinately benefit from your good information for our heirloom tom's :D
Does the heat from the sun ever burn plants that use trellises for support?
