watermarking on fruits??

piegirl · July 24, 2010

Over the past several weeks I have found a few green toms that look like they have watermarks, the outlines are faint beige - I have removed the fruit. Today I found more, maybe I missed them, but inside the watermark area is a lump/bump so the whole fruit is lumpy. No insect damage, the plants are healthy green and growing like the weeds surrounding them - ha! Sorry no phots to share. The varieties have been jet star and one cherokee purple. I thought catfacing but after a search, I am not sure. Thanks in advance. piegirl
