    Kevin, 35C is very hot for toms in a closed environment, shaded or otherwise. It's the ambient temp that's important. I think that could be your problem. Can you increase the ventilation?

    Tomatoes can be moved providing you do it at the coolest time of the day (or night). I've dug up mature plants from my garden and put them into containers for a neighbour. Water well first, take the whole root ball with soil, and transplant. Keep the transplant out of direct, warm sun for three or four days.

    Well I've moved it outside, seems ok. Will see if the fruit issues clear.

    Greenhouse has two auto vents and two slatted vents, in an 8 x 6 foot house, so not much more I can do to cool it really. 

    Will see how it goes image

    Do you keep the door open in this weather?  I would (if I had a greenhouse).

    On a seriously warm day, any sort of ventilation will struggle to keep the temps down inside.
