No blooms on tomato plants
I live in the middle of NC. I started several types of tomatoes in the house and transplanted them to the garden around the middle of April. The Better Boys and Celeberties are looking good and have green tomatoes on them around the size of golf balls and larger. I ordered the seeds from a company and they sent me a package of free seeds for Orange Oxheart. Never raised them before. The package says 76 days, around the same time as the others I have. The plants are up to about 3 or 4 feet tall. All 3 of them that I put out. There is not a single bloom on any of the 3. And of course no tomatoes either. Has anyone else seen tomato plants grow and not put out any blooms ? If it was not for the other 10 or so plants of other varities I may have thought some animal had eaten the blooms. The plants are in wire cages and have not been pruned or suckered. |

High nitrogen produces good foliage, but too much can prevent flowering, too. -- Maggie |

I started researching this problem and found out there are plants called 'Bull Tomatoes' (not to be confused with some that are Bull something tomatoes that produce fruit) that for some reason just do not produce any blooms or fruit but do grow well and look good. Maybe I just got unlucky and the 3 plants are all that kind. This is the first time I have seen that in the 40 or so years I have been growing tomatoes. Interesting, thank you for sharing. I have never heard of 'Bull Tomatoes' either. |
