I planted two tomato plants (patio hybrid) in similar containers. Both
were planted on same day(begining of May), same soil, fed same things,
get same amount of sun light. They grew into almost same size plants.
But one started bearing fruits(around 15) about a month back. But the
other has zero. It flowers but then no fruits are coming. It has been
flowering for more than a month. What could be the reason?

Are both plants in the same location ? It could be one is not polinateing
due to being out of the wind or something. If the plant is growing in a cage
or is staked try to shake the plant to see if that helps.

It could be genetic diversity or it could be some kind of microclimate.
If the containers can be moved switch their positions.

Thanks for the response. both the plants are side by side. I will try
switching the locations.
