Question by Krista D: tomato plants-when will they have fruit?
I bought two tomato plants at the grocery store and planted them in my yard. The plants are growing very quickly, but there are no signs of flowers, or the beginning of tomatoes. Should there be something starting at this point? A friend of mine has cherry tomato plants in her yard, and there are some little green tomatoes on her plants already. Is it possible that my plants would seem to be thriving, but not produce fruit?
More details-
The tomatoes in question are organic heirloom tomatoes, which I planted in New Jersey about a month and a half ago. The plants themselves have almost doubled in height, but there’s no sign yet of flowers. I live in a small apartment, and the tomatoes are planted in the only spot available to me. It gets full-on, direct sunlight for a few hours a day,

Add your own answer in the comments!
MMM! That’s GI reflux on the stove.
@Aidux1 me ? ever thought other people find this actually helpful not
everyone are food junk-erss
FRESH INGREDIENTS
There ARE other kinds of tomatoes besides red ones, some of them are
orange, some are yellow etc
Weeds are good.
its not orange, its like SUPER orange
nevermind my last lol
@Younowkoed : he took the short route. If you like chucky don’t use a
blender. Of course that means either using canned tomatoes, or stewing and
peeling your fresh tomatoes.
‘you will need:garlic’ shit i hate garlic
sure there was nothing else in that blender?
You understand tomatoes come in a range of colours, also the camera may not
have been white balanced properly.
how you become so PRO
You can find tomatoes everywhere, so canned ones shouldn’t be an option. xd
Perhaps the lighting is off?
looks like shit….thats a stupid tattoo on the hand. AND THE SAUCE LOOKS
LIKE SHIT TOO
nice tatoo!
how dare you threaten my mom, you bastard!
SO THEY SMOKED IT?
@TheNukree1 Depends on the type of tomato and the amount of tomato paste
you use.
@runescape951230 how the F*** would you know unless you have 2 accounts and
why would you reply to me if this were none of your buisness
why the hell is it orange it’s ment to be red …
When Italian mamas make their tomato sauce they let it simmer for much,
much longer, resulting in my opinion a far superior tasting tomato sauce.
Tomatoes release lycopenes if cooked long enough, which prevents cancer.
The British way is to heat a can of tomatoes for 5 mins and throw it in
pasta. Surprise – it tastes just like eating a can of warmed up tomatoes
LOL.
why no onions????!!
why the fuck is it orange!?!??!!!!
Mmmmm…….now im hungry….
It all depends when you planted them. If they have been planted since May they should already have small/ medium green tomatoes on them. You may want to add a little plant food when watering.
I think it depends on where you live and what variety of tomato you planted. Down here in the South, once the nightime temperature is over 70 degrees F, most tomatoes won’t set their blossoms. You should also be pinching off the sucker shoots from the “V” where branches come off the main stem. This keeps the plant from putting a lot engery into growing branches and not putting out blooms.
Do they have little yellow flowers on them yet? The fruit usually appears after the flowers have bloomed.
Usually, the toms will bear red fruit within 70-75 days after planting. So, somethig should be starting soon for you.
BUT …
inspect the branches CAREFULLY. Any signs of some of them being nibbled away? Japanese beetles, for example, are top feeders and work their way from the top down and the outside IN. Therefore, because they (and other pests as well) are chomping at the very tips of things, you might not see anything missing. Also look for a big green tomatoe worm -big caterpillar thing. Pluck it off. Everyhting else continues to grow fast and lush while the pests are at work, so just a cursory glance doesn’t tell you the whole story.
Now look around the BASE of the plants. See any dried up littel shred of leaf down there? That could indicate either pest damage or a nutrition problem for the plant. If so, you’ll need a consult with a garden center or just scan the web.
But if everything looks good, get ready for the white bread and mayo!
If not so good, c’mon over to my house. In about 10 days I’ll have countless tomatoes and will need all the hlp I can get!
Depends on the type of tomatoes you have. Some bush types ,like the little cherry style grow and produce lots of shoots followed by flowers and fruit. Other styles, usually the larger fruited varieties should be grown as cordons, that is the side shoots pinched out and the plant tied and supported by a stake or cane.. In pinching out though be careful you do not remove flower shoots. You need to know what you are doing. When you get flowers ,if there are not a lot of insects about to pollinate give the flowers a spray with fine clear water, using a hand sprayer.Keep he plants well watered. Do not feed until the first truss has set, or the plant will make growth at the expense of flowering..
You havent given enough info. What State, How long planted. They will start very quickly when they do start. Do you have them in full sun? They need that also.
Well, if you fertilized those plants with Miracle-Gro or some other monstrosity like that, they’re probably overloaded with nitrogen. So they’ll put out leaves.
Feed them bone meal and when you see little buds coming out, trim off each and every leaf and stem that will not have flowers, so the plant focuses on the fruits.
Another thing is, you don’t say what type of tomatoes you got. But if your friend has hybrids, they’re putting out fruit already. If you got an heirloom variety, you’ll be harvesting closer to the end of August, or early in the fall
Heirloom tomato’s in Jersey probably will not bear fruit until Mid to late August possibly even early september. These varieties tend to take quite a bit longer than conventional round red tomatoes to reach maturity. Just be patient. The 1st crop of heirlooms out of Mexico has finally reached maturity and has just started shipping to retail locations in the states. Give it another 1-2 months. Your reward will be great tasting tomato’s.
