I usually find that fruit begins to set within a week of pollinating the flowers. <br /><br />I've actually been having the same problem with one of my tomato plants this summer. I'm not entirely sure why this happens, but it might be related to the weather. What part of the country are you living in, and what have the conditions been like?<br /><br />Whenever things go according to plan, what should happen is that the flowers shrivel and actually fall off, and a tiny little tomato is there.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry I can't be more helpful. Best of luck!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167922795537945466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486421214970020311.post-64302221018795785952012-09-04T12:18:13.020-04:002012-09-04T12:18:13.020-04:00hi, how long does it take for the flower to become...hi, how long does it take for the flower to become fruit? i have lots of cherry tomato flowers but no fruit setting. all flowers open and then turn brown but stay on the plant.
