I have been lurking here for quite a while and have learned a lot, but
now I need some help.
I have three German Girl tomato plants that have lots of blooms but
never set tomatoes. I have another tomato plant that did not have a tag
when I bought it, but I have gotten several tomatoes from it already.
These are smallish (slightly larger than a lime) but very flavorful and
sweet.I planted this one about a month before the German Girls.My first
guess is that it has already gotten too hot to set fruit. I live on the
Alabama coast about 10 miles as the crow flies from the Gulf of Mexico.
Any ideas?
TIA


Tomatoes will not set fruit if the night temperature is lower than
55°F or the daytime temperature is over 95°F. I have also found that
heirlooms tend produce fruit later than hybrids.

Don't worry about it. Plants produce fruit when they are mature
enough.

Mist spray they with water. Does the trick with mine.
