Yellow Branches on Tomato Plants

AlittleSalt · May 8, 2015

I didn't look at the garden much yesterday or the day before, but today, I found two plants with yellow branches/leaves. What do think might be going on with them? And should I cut them (The yellow parts) off?

Yep cutem off they are old and done for.
Later you can flick the stump off where you cut them or it will fall off on its own.

It looks a lot like fusarium wilt. In a few weeks to a few months you will know for sure because the whole plant usually wilts eventually. You can cut a stem showing symptoms and check it for the yellow to brown discoloration inside.
