I bought 2 Sweet 100 cherry plants at Lowe's that came from someplace in Virginia. Both are tall stringy plants with sparse fruit trusses. Loads of folliage but long stems and tall and lanky. I've never had a cherry tomato fail to produce like these did. I fertilized and located the containers as usual. I may rip both out and put a some more deserving plants in there. lol. This was also the year that the first Bonnie plants I purchased all died. They were San Marzano, which was the only reason I bought them. Definitely a weird year for plants except my own seedlings. Covid and weird cold weather disrupted supplies and I also think the cold damaged plants before purchase.
