Question
Why don't seeds from hybrid tomatoes produce tomatoes?

What can prevent tomato plant blossoms, blossoming continuously already for 3 weeks from setting fruit (in South Florida)?

Thanks!
Mitch

Answer
Hybrid seed will produce plants that produce tomatoes. The difference between hybrids and heirlooms are that heirlooms produce exact replicates of the parent plants. The chaaracteristics, including taste, color, and size, are identical.  Hybrids, on the other hand, produce fruit that contains a combination of the plants from which it was bred. These vary, even within the same plant. That it why you are best to purchase hybrid seed from a breeder rather than harvesting your own.

In regard to tomato blossoms, usually it is inclimate weather that prevents them from setting fruit. When it is too hot, too wet, or even too dry, tomatoes will be delayed. This problem always corrects itself within a few weeks.

I hope this answered your questions. Good luck, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
