Going Back to Hybrids
Jan 28, 2025 | By Kurt
I planted Tasmanian Chocolate and another dwarf variety plus 5 other varieties last June, with the hope of having tomatoes all winter (indoors) and not having to buy tasteless tomatoes at the store. The two determinate yellow cherry tomatoes did fantastic, cranking out hundreds of small yellow sugar bombs, but I still haven't harvested a single tomato from any of my dwarf varieties. One of my two Tasmanians dropped every single one of its 50 plus blossoms. The second Tasmanian has 9 small tomatoes on it, out of maybe 60 blossoms. My yellow cherry tomatoes had at least a 75% pollination rate. I even tried moving pollen from my good Tasmanian to the bad one, with no luck. Now they both seem to be getting a wilt disease, which is weird because it is the middle of winter now and I sterilized the soil in the oven before re-potting them. Maybe someone will have better luck with these planting them outdoors, which is why I am giving them 3 stars instead of 1 star.
