Tomato plants and Apple trees
My container grown tomato plants were beautiful, when they needed
staked we were chopping down an apple tree, so I used some of the long straight branches for stakes. Now my plants look terrible, I think they're almost dead. Does it have anything to do with the apple branches? |

Now my plants look terrible, I think they're almost dead. Does it have anything to do with the apple branches? I don't *think* it has to do with the apple branches vs. some other type of stake. It may have something to do with pushing a stake into a container already full of roots, trying to tie up plants that were happily sprawling around. Or it could just be coincidence, and a disease has hit your tomato plants that would have happened, apple stakes or not. (Container-grown plants may need watering more than once a day. Can that be a factor?) I put the stake in the same time I put in the tomato plant, and train them to the stake from then on. -- Pat in Plymouth MI Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
