Title: Leathery Tomato Plants
Post by: vaca on June 27, 2006, 12:56:09
Hello all,

The other day, down at the allotment I was feeding my tomatoes and notices that 2 out of about 60 plants were looking quite sickly. Their leaves were a little culred, but mainly they fealt rather thick and leathery to the touch.

I've removed both of them as I didn't want to risk anything possibly spreading to the other plants, but have not found any information as to what it could be.

any ideas??

thanks,
Vaca

Sometimes the wind can make the leaves curl, they also go a bit blueish when this happens.

Most of my greenhouse toms are curled up like this, but the leaves aren't dry - just leathery. The toms are fine, so I try not to fret :)
