Growing Tomatoes

What's wrong with my tomatoes?

9 years ago

Hi - I have two tomato plants that are either plum or pear tomatoes and although some of the tomatoes on them are healthy, most of them look like the two in the photo. Can anyone help me identify this problem? Should I pull the plants so they don't affect my other tomato plants? Thanks.

It looks like Blossom End Rot which is caused by uneven watering (maybe it rained hard). It tends to affect the plum varieties the most. It's best to pull them off the plant so that it can put it's energy into making new, perfect tomatoes.
