Default Tomato Plants Turning Brown/Rust Colored...

Hi, Folks.

I was wondering if someone might know what this is or if it's something to worry about. I've got a plant that has kind of a brownish/rust tinge to it. The stem has kind of a splotchy purple color to it. There isn't any wilting to speak of (yet, anyway) and the plant is growing and producing fruit. It is smaller than its neighbors because it went in much later and was a bit root-bound (stressed) when it was planted.

I apologize for not having the photos in the message. There was some problem and they wouldn't appear.

Thanks. ~Adam

It's hard to see the problem in the pics. It wouldn't hurt to spray them with Daconil if you are worried about fungal problems.

I don't any problem with it either. If there's some purpleing, it might be just from the stress of being rootbound. That will fade away slowly. Unless it develops some other symptoms, I wouldn't worry about it.
