Freeze damaged tomato plants
Here in central Florida we had a freak freeze the other night. My tomato
plants suffered 'minor' damage and now have a small percentage of withering leaves. The plants themselves are about two feet tall and except for the slight damage look quite healthy. There are still many flowers and several tomatoes in the 1~2 inch range. Should I prune the branches with the damaged leaves or just let mother nature take its course? Any other special action that should be taken? Thanks..... |

Freeze damaged tomato plants
You should prune the dead branches off and make sure they have plenty of
water to hydrate them. I would give them a liquid fertilizer to help them recover. My personal favorite is fish emulsion because it contains all the nutrients, as well as being very gentle on the plant. Penny Zone 7b - North Carolina "Bishoop" wrote in message ...

Better to remove the dying leaves. -- Phish© |
