    How northern are we talking? Our tomatoes didn’t so well last year in Northern Ohio, but the summer before i was absolutely drowning in cherry tomatoes!

      47th Lat, so a fair bit further but the high winds of my region could contribute to hanging crops declines.

        It’s certainly something besides latitude. Western Canada grows hella tomatoes and that’s 49 lat at the bare minimum

          British Columbia for sure has some very diverse hardiness zones.

        My parents are around 44 deg lat and their tomatoes do very well. It seems like something else must be limiting your success.
