Growing Tomatoes

Blossom died

16 years ago

Hello,

I am a newbie gardener and have read that if the bloom on your tomato plant dies then it will not produce fruit. One of the blossoms on my Black Krim tomato plants have dried up and looks dead, however, after pruning the dead leaves off it is still growing. Is it possible for the plant to produce a new bloom? We had extreme temp changes and after that I noticed my blossom dried up. This plant is the only plant in my garden that I didn't start from seed. The others are doing great.

It will be fine when it gets warmer. Blooms often fall off during cold snaps.

There will be many more blooms to come but not even all of them will set fruit. That is normal and happens to all of us this time of year.

Now if it got to the point where you had lots and lots of blooms on the plant and all of them died and fell off there would be a problem called "Blossom Drop". There is a FAQ here about it you might want to read for future reference.
