Just One Plant
Wondering if anyone has an id for this ........ three photos from same plant. Weather has been perfect here on the coast last few months, but just went through a few days of heavy rain. The majority of my plants are looking fabulous, but it seems the ones I plant at this location are always the least healthy - more exposure to the elements.
Interesting bit is that this is a black - and in the past I've had this happen to many of my blacks ..... just noticed this yesteray when I was taking individual photos of all my tomato plants. Have since removed all visibly affected foliage

I have seen that. I have no idea what causes it. The dead
leaf actually looks like a separate issue from the purple/bronze edges in the second picture (see how the stem is rotted on the dead leaf). There are a few nutrient deficiencies that can cause "marginal necrosis" ( http://4e.plantphys.net/article.php?ch=5&id=289 ), but the whole plant in the background does not really remind me of any of them.

I get that on my container plant on the deck. It gets quite a bit more wind and heat than the rest of my tomatoes. The deck is dark gray (almost black) and it sits up in the air and hangs over a small cliff. I've always felt it was due to the wind whipping the leaves against the cage. I've never noticed it causing problems in production or health of the plant.
