"Woody" tomato leaves
The leaves on some of my tomatoes are developing a "woody" appearance.
The leaves change color to light brown, the brown color has a shiny woody appearance. In the most advanced stages, the leaves finally drop off. I looked at leaf symptoms he http://tinyurl.com/y3lg3b8 but didn't see anything that looked ike it. |

In the meantime, go tot he above URL and scroll down to "Malathion poisoning." That's a close approximation. Are the leaves at the bottom dieing, or the leaves at the top? Pretty much uniform distribution. Are these tomato plants you started yourself, or tomatoes you bought from a store? I got them at Lowe's (building supplies, not grocery store). The last time I was there, plants on their shelves had the same markings. |

I sent a photo to the Master Gardeners' Program and got an immediate phone reply: We don't know what this is, but it looks bad and you should report it to the Wake Co. Extension. I just uploaded photos to that site. Worst case: I have to replace everything: plants, pots, and soil. |

Be ready to drop off plant and "soil" samples at the NCDA facilities off of Reedy Creek Rd. Worst case: I have to replace everything: plants, pots, and soil. Worst case it affects more than the nightshade family and it's a problem for the rural areas where gardeners may buy eggplant, tomato, and pepper plants. I went back to the Lowe's on Barton Grove Rd. in Raleigh and readily found dozens like mine on the shelves. I spoke to the lady who represented herself as the resident expert on plant diseases and she said it was just lack of water. BULLSHIT! I'm waiting for a reply from the extension before I do anything more. |
