I've got a strange problem with some nursery grown tomato plants and wondered if anyone else has the same problem. They have grown to just under 0.5 metre and developed large trusses of fruit low down but have stopped growing. I think it's because they fruited too early and think their job is done? Any other ideas. By the way they are a type called Premio. I've grown them many times before with great success.

Have you removed all of the side shoots?

Yes, always do that methodically, it's a mystery.

Two of our nursery grown tom plants did much the same just after we got them - tho they only had a couple of small tomatoes on them - they paused growing for a while but then started anew. I think OH fed them to encourage them but I have no idea if that helped. |

Perhaps some feed will do the trick. I'll give it a go. Thanks.

I bought 2 'normal'and 2 cherry tomato plants from Aldi. The normal one have gone crazy growing to about 1 metre in height but spreading like triffids, I shall have loads of tomatos - chutney making time again, that's for sure. One of the cherry type has got swamped as has one of my Antilles chilis which thank goodness are fruiting at last.
