Why is my tomato plant dropping green tomatoes?

Green tomatoes falling off the vine can be frustrating, but the cause is often linked to stress on the plant. Poor pollination, extreme heat, sudden temperature swings, drought, overwatering, and even too much nitrogen fertilizer can all trigger tomato plants to abort young fruit before it matures. Low light conditions can also reduce fruit production and cause developing tomatoes to drop early. Understanding what stresses tomato plants helps gardeners improve fruit set, grow healthier plants, and harvest more ripe tomatoes throughout the growing season.
