Hi,

I have 4 tomatoes in containers and all are looking vigorous & healthy
with many blossoms. I've already eaten several Sungolds, and two of the
other plants have set fruit. I'm worried about the Brandywine. It
looks fine, but as the flowers mature, the stems dry up and they fall
off. The plant has only one fruit.

Any ideas? I'd rule out disease because of the overall health of the
plant, but what about bugs? Or is this typical of this variety?


I had four Brandywine tomato plants last year here in
northern PA. I got a total of TWO ripe tomatoes from the
four plants.

I think they require a longer, warmer season than we have.
