Default Tomatoes

Hi,
A couple of questions.

1) I've noticed that a fair few of my tomatoes are falling from
the plants before they are ripe, rotting at the stalk end (not the
blossom end). Any idea of the cause(s)?

2) We hear about ripening tomatoes with a banana, but is it a
whole banana, the fruit or the skin? Is it just near by, wrapped
up or even in the fridge?

Many Thanks

1) Don't know but our plums did the same thing

1) Either a whole Banana or just the skin, BUT, a whole Banana works better
and lasts longer AND, then you can eat it ;-)
