My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Deformed fruit starting

12 years ago

What in the world is causing this? This is a ground-planted Sun Sugar. The plant is vigorous but the fruit is hideously deformed and probably won't develop (that's my guess).

Could this be some residual soil contaminant? Would some Roundup that carried over in a breeze cause this?

So far the maters in the planter boxes have shown no signs of trouble and even the other plant in the ground next to it seems OK.

I'm stumped (and a little worried).
