It was hot in May, cooled down somewhat in June.
Pedicel! Yes I was trying to find that word.
Thanks to you (pedicel) and Worth1 (abcission), I now have the words I need to check out relevant literature on Google. I have already found this
Development and regulation of pedicel abscission in tomato
available at
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4462994/
It looks deep but may be useful.
All the flowers on my Crnkovic Yugoslavian start to separate in the same pedicel abcission zone behind the flower. I've got a Stupice beside it and it is not suffering from flower drop.
Are there any technically correct tomato blossom drop images that you can refer me to?
