hmmmmm I live in a cool climate on the south coast of WA.
they get plenty of water, 20mins retic in morning and hand water at night.
i check about 4" in the ground and it is always moist.
I think the wilt we get here is caused by a fungus.
I checked with some other gardeners in the area today and they have the same
problem.

does anyone know what causes wilt in tomatos.

High summer temperatures. Perhaps lack of water.

my tomatos have been growing fine, i have been
picking a lot.
the cherry tomatos are fine but the roma's and the big red's
now have wilt.
is there anything you can spray them with to stop the wilt.
cheers

Spraying is for insects/fungus.
