Question

How many days it take for tomato plant to flower after planting?

Answer 1

Around 90 days

Answer 2

Depends on variety (early, mid or late) and how the weather is. Most seed will tell you or plant descriptions will tell you if you look them up. If you want early though, many are developed without the benefit of flavor. For a nice tomato, (med size, good amt of flesh, mid season, determinate (bush not vine), try Celebrity. I think you will be pleased.

Answer 5

In addition to the variables given by Mike, there are also soil conditions, watering schedules, location of plant, hours of sunlight each plant is given, as well as HUs (Heat Units) the plants receive.

Some of the super early Siberian tomato plants can flower as early as 30 days after planting. Others take longer, 60+ days. Again, it's all relative.

if you feel like getting totally technical, here is a great research book on tomatoes and all that affects them, with a quite extensive chapter on flowering.  The book is listed on a link in the Source for my info below. The book is actually available to be read on line.
