    I have this cherry tomato from seed (got from fresh fruit), now is about 110cm tall.
    The yellow flowers are so small and did not get blossom. Leaves are small.
    Not sure should I add fertilizer? It is about 2 months old.

    If a hybrid ,, they will not produce the same as the parent plant ! But given that,, they all need fertilizer !

    It could be a fungus in the soil. Or spider mites. I myself also experienced this exact same issue once - And till today, don't really have an explanation for it...

    I am average at most gardening advice but my gut instincts say sounds like it is not going to produce. Some seeds are not always reliable from your own veggies/fruits.I am having a go at bramble apples pips and not expecting much goings on with them just like to have a go....with your toms though you of course want produce, but would think if flowers are small then the fruit at best is going to be small and being cherry varieties they are small by type...Tomatoes are greedy feeders so do need a fertiliser normally.
