Heirloom Plants & Gardens

black Siam tomato

12 years ago

I am growing a Black Siam Tomato this year and as with my cherokee purple last year I have a huge plant with plenty of blooms on it and not a speck of fruit. All my other non-heirloom plants have plenty of fruit on them and my other heirloom golden jubilee has some on it. What can I do to get tomatoes on my Black Siam?

It's probably the heat. If you can keep them going until the temps cool down you may get some fruit in the fall. Here's a link.

To much nitrogen (miracle-grow) will cause all vine and no fruit . My Cherokee Purples are loaded of course Heirlooms don't put out the mass of the popular Hybrids
