and although it has grown very high, and has loads of leaves, i still havent gotten any actual tomatoes growing on it? is there a cause why?
Yes!
Go to my profile, check my best answer on Tomatoes.
You will find it there! 2nd. page!
Good luck!


Not sure if you have any blooms on it or not but if it dose they may need to be pollinated. I own had better luck growing more than one tomato plant at a time so they can cross pollinate. Also some times I get one to be exact slow and behind the others. Hope this helps. Wow...the collection of answers never fails to amaze me!! And so far.at least when I started typing.the adjectives looked pretty good..just didn't jump far enough.

First: did you amend your soil before planting? You don't entail the fancy shmancy test kits, newly a little common sense.
Composted dirt, or humus has the basics. Sounds resembling you have plenty of nitrogen for leaf structure, magnesium for strong stalks, and a intact bunch of other stuff for assorted purposes.

The first thing you need to look at if you own done this is:
what kind of tomato did you plant?
There are basically two kind. (not colors/not species..types)
Determinant and inderterminant. The first has a specific number of days that it grows, specific number of days it blooms, and specific number of days it fruits. It will only grow so big, produce so copious fruits, and you can just forget having surprises.verbs it out in the fall.
The latter (which it sounds close to you have) is the inderterminant.it's a card carrying member of the mystery 'mater club. They will SAY: 60 days to fruit..(or whatever...depending on what characteristics you plant.this is where species comes in).but is that 60 days from the time the seed is planted? 60 days from the time you provide it it's permenant home? 60 days from the first hot, growth spurt? You get the idea. It will carry leggy if not clipped, invade it's neighbors if not tamed, and provide you the most amazing group of tasty, small, large, huge, sweet, sour fruits (all on one plant sometimes) adjectives the way up until the first, really hard, slaughter frost!! As long as you are patient enough to permit it bloom..
Now.if you wanted your first tomatoes by the 4th of July.it's too late.but if you are getting impatient.

The article that most people don't realize is that blossoms are stimulated by potassium. Some manures enjoy it, some don't. Regular old "humus" doesn't have much as a rule. The best course to put in potassium after planting. Eat a bananna. No..YOU eat the bananna.confer the peel to the plant. just clear the mulch, verbs down a little, put in trim, burry, replace much...and water. (this works with roses too!!) Too simple?? Yes. That's 'mater artifice!

Now...Tomatoes need calcium to keep from developing blossom rot (you know.when they do finally bloom), and if you are poor potassium, you probably have a low calcium level as all right. That's not as easy to fix, but..since you aren't blooming yet..let's bring the calcium in so it can break down first. It takes longer.

First alternative: eggshells. Rinse after emptying or not...your choice! I rinse only because I own to crush them into iddy biddy peices, (hense the rinsing), and then just do alike as with the banana peel.
Second: Calcium rich red juice. Just what's left contained by your glass, not the container. The calcium is already broken down for processing, and the acid will perk up the flavor; but this does attract bees, so.
Third Choice: Ground oyster shell. Usually this would progress in at tilling, but as long as its pulverized you can deal beside it.
The absolute BEST choice though.Lime (the powdered stuff.not the green fruity thing). The only problem is, this also lowers the bitter level, and let's face it: tomatoes obligation acid: especially if you plan on canning them.or in recent times having one with flavor.

So: nourishment and humus for nutrients
bananna peels for blossoms
and whatever you want for calcium

Good luck and joyful gardening!!
Answers:    It would help if you amended your question beside some more information (see my questions to you below). There are lots of reasons why one might not bring fruits. I'll check back later to see if you own added any clues.

Lots of leaves may mean too much available Nitrogen in your soil / fertilizer. An over large amount of N makes lots of green and very little red. Did you use glorious N fertilizer?

If you are getting blossoms that are dropping you may consider that temperature and / or humidity are hindering pollination. It is particularly common for toms to quit production once the mercury gets up into the nineties but some variety are more heat friendly.

How hot are afternoons in your location? What assortment are you growing? Are you seeing blossoms form only to drop to the ground or has the plant inferior to flower at all?

Are you 100% sure yours is a tomato plant?

***********...

Tomatoes are self-pollinators so one plant is OK. Determinate shmerminate - I have determinate plants that own been producing non-stop since the end of March and show no signs of stopping very soon - still putting on flowers and fruits.
