TOMATOE PROBLEM

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I am Growing German Johnson tomatoes,and they are pretty and green, except about 4 or 5 of the leaves on them, that have a curling or twisting affect to them. Is that some kind of Blite? If so, how do I treat this problem? THANKS

Hi Wayne, curling is common and it won't hurt production of the plant. Have you pruned the tomato plant heavily? That could cause it. Any spots on the leaves? I live in the south east and tried to grow German Johnsons but had so much trouble with funguses on the leaves. They didn't seem to like our hot humid weather much. If you don't have any discoloration on the leaves, as in yellowing or black spots on them, you should be ok.
