| My tomatoes grow nicely, however no larger than an egg. Why? They are in a container |

| Size of the fruit is primarily determined by the genes of the variety so without knowing the name of the variety those fruit may be perfectly normal. In addition container grown plants will almost always produce smaller fruit than those same plants if grown in ground. It all depends on the size of the container. If too small the roots are compressed and the plant is stressed. The bigger the container the better and many recommend using nothing smaller than 10 gallons. Dave |
