Is this a disease
![]() I know catfacing is caused by conditions like cold nights when blossoms set and being in MI, I'm use to that. None of my other 60+ plants are doing this. These are off a Summer Cider plant and there are several like this. The plant is also fighting what appears to be early blight. Any thoughts |

It looks more like longitudinal cracking than catfacing. Have they looked like this right from formation or did it happen after a period of heavy rains? Longitudinal cracking and concentric cracking can be caused by overwatering (such as heavily rainy conditions). There is also a genetic factor in this happening. I don't know the tendencies of this variety so can't say for sure.

I had similar looking tomatoes on a f2 I grew out, even with moderate watering they cracked to extreme while with far more water other varieties had no cracking.
Might be in the genes, especially if all maters on the plant is doing this.
