Q.Tomato Plant Issues

Zone 93036 | Anonymous added on May 13, 2021 | Answered

My beefsteak tomatoe plant came with alot of fruit. Now the plant has stopped growing upward. It has alot of tomatoes and they are turning red but small and hard.It is probably 2-3ft tall with at least 10 tomatoes. The leaves were yellowing, so I thought I was overwatering. Now green but no new growth with leaves. Any suggestions?

Since you purchased the plant with fruit on it and transplanted, it may have withdrawn due to environmental changes, soil changes and just transplant shock. You may want to trim it a little bit and give it some food. Here's an article about feeding it:
