I've had the same issue with a few of my container plants this year -- mainly withthe black tomatoes. The tips of some on one side of a branch begin to turn brown and then it crisps up. Starts from the bottom of the plant and works its way up. I'm really wanting to solve this... i have a beautiful Cherokee Purple plant that's loaded with tomatoes that's one of the ones affected. Also same symptoms on Black. My instinct says it's the temps. Even though I'm getting more sun this year than in years past (because of necessity to take down a big shade tree at the back of the property), I'm getting tops 7 hours of mainly afternoon sun.

That sounds kind of similar to what is happening to one of my Nyagous - I am growing in containers. I have a thread with pictures over in the Common Garden Diseases and Pests forum if you want to see if my photos look like yours.
Weird - all my other tomatoes are fine - the Nyagous next to the affected one is just fine. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue what it is. Hope we figure it out - I love the blacks most of all. |
