Title: Curling tomato leaves
Post by: Bun on June 09, 2006, 14:31:21
A friend at work asked me about this problem today & I can remember it happening to my a few years back, but as I have a memory of a goldfish I can't remember what it was or what I did about it.  ???

Any ideas?

I tend to think this is normal, though it does seem worse at the top of the plants and tends to be when it is pretty hot.

I do not worry about it and the crop is always good.

My tomato leave have been curling up or I should say down and around. They are covered in flowers and fruit but I am a bit worried.
You said this is ok?

Some of my toms have curling leaves; I think it's probably down to their just having been planted out, so they haven't got big root systems yet, and then being hit by this hot weather. I won't water them unless it gets a lot worse as I want them to develop deep roots, but if they were in pots or growbags I'd try increasing their water.

Someone suggested they may have a defficiency - maybe potassium - and epsom salts help
