Hi Folks,

My San Marzano's are exhibiting a strange form of leaf curl. From research done here and other sites, pics of leaf curl show the leaves curling upward. Mine have started to curl downwards. Imagine a tomato leaf lying on a flat surface with the top side up. then the leaf edges start to curl uniformly downwards along both sides effectively pushing the leaf upwards.

I've grown San Marzanos for several years, they're in the garden which is 70' wide and are at the top one year, middle the next, then bottom, then the cycle repeats. I plant three rows spaced at 4' X 4'. When needed I water with a soaker hose once a week. I did side dress with 5-10-5 by scattering on the ground but not in contact with the stems.

We did have blight last year, but with all the rain in this area that was to be expected.

I'm guessing this is just typical plant stress issue, just doesn't look like the "typical" photos out there.

Any ideas?

THanks,

Ev
