Bacterial Speck or insect damage, or both?
These are all from a Large Red Cherry tomato that has been producing pretty heavily. Fearing the worst, I yanked the plant, but am wondering if this is a cause for concern. I have another LRCT that is showing the same symptoms in the fruit. I know the one with a hole in it is insect damage(right?), I am just curious which kind of insect, and what the brown stuff inside is. The others I am unsure of, and if it is disease, should I yank the other plant, too? There are no leaf symptoms, and the weather is hot now, but we had about a week and a half of cool, wet weather that ended about 4-5 days ago. These 2 plants in question are in ground, or was in ground; and I have one in a 5 gallon bucket that is fine, whose fruit is unblemished. The only other tomato variety producing is sweet 100, and fruit is also unblemished. It only seems to be in the in ground LRCT plants...Not sure what to think. Thanks for any advice! All the tomatoes are firm, except the one in the first picture, which has softening under the spots.
Thanks, Carrie |
