Principe Borghese, and leaf curl
I am curious to know if leaf curl is a standard trait of Principe Borghese tomato plants. I grew one in the spring, and the plant had leaf curl problem the entire season. The leaves curled in the cool weather of spring, and leaf curl in the hot weather of summer. I actually had good production from the plant despite the leaf curl. The tomato's were fine for drying, and if I sliced them thin they tasted OK also......I decide to grow a Principe Borghese this fall, and I am having the same problem as I did in the spring. All of my other fall tomato plants do not display any leaf curl so I am assuming it has something to do w/ the Principe Borghese plant itself. Has anyone else grown this variety, and had a similar experience??

Yeah, the leaves on mine are sort of cupped a little bit. There are a few like that. Utyonok comes to mind. I don't think you should see it as a problem. If you're getting good production on tomatoes and the plant looks healthy otherwise, it must just be the way it is.
