| Hello, I'm brand-new at this and looking for advice about the Paul Robeson Black Russian tomato plant I planted about 4 wees ago. I planted it along with three other tomato plants, (Romas and Early Girl), which all seem to be flourishing, but this one shows no signs of anything. It hasn't grown or declined, just stays how it is. It had one large-ish, unripe fruit on it when I planted it, which has stayed exactly the same. It's like it's frozen in time! Any ideas? I side-dressed with fertilizer yesterday. I'm in Southern California. |

| Hmm, both Paul Robeson and Black Russian are mid season producers for me and they are both productive. It is possible to have a dud as seedling for sure... |

| Does it have the exact same growing conditions as the other plants? Is it being shaded by the others? Did you plant it initially in a peat pot? Sometimes the roots don't grow out of those and end up growing around and around in the pot. Mine is a robust plant and just setting fruit now, but then I planted out late. |

| Hi, I am haveing the same issue, mine were grown from seeds, I have used the same bed every year, over the winter I till in good compost and horse manure (aged and chemical free) I had a horrible deer attack, the other plants had all been 5 ft and thriving lots of fruit, deer took them all down to about 14 inches, except the Russians, which were and still are about that high. Not in a peat pot. I planted them all at the same time, and even the ones in a different bed are the same. Could it be the seeds were too old? They were a gift and I did not look at the date. |
