Blossom Drop on some beefsteaks

BlackestKrim · May 27, 2010

I have about 20 tomatoes planted, and all are doing fine except 3- my Brandywine, Marvel Stripe, and Prudent's Purple. While all the others are setting heavy green fruit, these have produced comparatively few flowers. Those flowers eventually withered and fell off, the stem around them browned. No fruit has set. This has occured for a couple months.

I have other medium-to-largish tomatoes that are doing fine (black krim, nyagos, cluster grande, black sea man) and cherries are doing excellent. All share same water, soil, and fertilizer treatments.

Any ideas why this happens, and what to do?
