Black Tinged Foliage

HakaiRah · June 15, 2008

Two of my tomato plants have a slight black ting on their leaves that has me a little worried. Since these two are still in pots I have them removed from the general population, and before I plant them I want to make sure it isn't anything major.

Any help is much appreciated.

They look like they have been cold to me (the purpling along
the edges of the leaves and in the veins). I have an Earl's Faux
that looked like that for a few weeks after transplanting.
It was not in freezing temperatures, but it was not warm
either, for all but a couple of days. Highs mid-50s F, lows
mid-40s.

The bronze color seemed to be there to stay, and I pruned
those leaves off once the plant developed some new ones
that looked healthy all over. (Didn't seem to be contagious.)
