Heirloom tomato blossomed, but no fruit

carpenterlady · March 6, 2009

I have tried Brandywines in northeastern Minnesota a few years without any luck. The end of the season I have a lot of green tomatoes. I believe the problem is that they don't set fruit or produce blossoms in cooler early summer temps. Last year I had to buy plants because I wasn't able to start any seeds. I had ok luck with Oregon Spring, and no red tomatoes with Mr. Stripey. In the past I have had good luck with Santiam, Oregon Spring, Ropreco, and Silvery Fruit Tree.
