Struggling with dwarf tomatoes

[Fritz77]

Good news! My dwarfs are loaded with blossoms. Wherokowhai has 4 tomatoes (in this picture you can see 2 of them if you zoom a little bit). Uluru Ochre is more behind but I don't worry. I've regained confidence

Here Wherokowhai is the dwarf with the fastes and stronges fruit set so far and Uluru the slowest So seems to be normal.

Uluru O is one of the best tasting tomatoes you can grow, if it wasn't so stingy I'd grow a bunch of them. I grew two plants that between them had scores of blooms, 2 tomatoes total. they were worth it.

Wherokowhai I got a ton of blooms and not a single tomato, so you've beat me.

Wild Fred is a permanent member of the stable, it should outproduce the other two.

Best of luck!

Tasm. Chocolate is a good producer. Unlike many here I prune my dwarfs. I have to. I try to leave 4 to 6 main stems depending on the dwarf. Some, like Sleeping Lady, do fine w/o pruning but for me I get good fruit set and bigger tomatoes by pruning. Total weight ends up being about the same.

I'm finding that some dwarfs take longer than others, too, at least in my garden. Tasmanian Chocolate and Adelaide Festival are just starting to blossom, but Firebird Sweet and Summertime Green have been blossoming for two and a half weeks.

Wow, it's good i did not sow U O then.. No need for stingy varieties!
I might try it next year though..

My Tennessee Suited seem to be the most fruitful so far, several have 4 fruit and many blossoms. This is my first year for Dwarfs - i hope i did not make a mistake by caging them? Like will the fruits get squished?

Do you have to shake the bush or use an electric toothbrush on them to pollenate is few bee's around? I have a ton of blossoms compared to fruit?

I do some pruning too. Much less than on the others, so they still look very bushy, but I can't let them grow like they want.
