I have a cherry type tomato in my green house that is FULL of flowers
yet not one tomato has set. Too hot? I have shaken them to pollinate,
they are hydroponic so the water is right, used the appropriate
fertilizer and everything else I can think of.  I am in south eastern
North Carolina, zone 7ish. Any ideas? I have grown these same tomatoes
through the winter in past years so I know its possible.
Thanks
MJ

Try running fans, bees or vibrating the flowers in the greenhouse.
meanwhile stating what the heat/humid has been,  when you planted them
and what type cherry they are may help pinpoint the problem.

 I do not know what the humidity has been, heat in the 90ies. They are
called "Sugary" tomatoes. I have shaken the plants and we have had an
abundance of bees around here this year. I don't think it is
pollination

----------------------------

With temps in the nineties there is a strong possibility that the pollen is
sterile.

I never thought of that.Does that mean there is no hope? There is new
growth at the bottom of the plant. Should I just cut it off and use
that growth as a re start?
