You can use the TAMU website to determine the leaf problems of your tomato. They're a great resource worth bookmarking.

Thanks Trudi,

great site. It has been bookmarked. My problem doesn't fit the spotted wilt disease they describe exactly. The fruit has not been misshapen and leaves are not spotted but it did knock out one fruit cluster above the wilting. Maybe salt in the soil, ph or something. I am going to try a micro nutrient low fertilizer soak and see what happens. Thanks for the info.

Here another closer pic.

Aloha

Have you had lots of rain? The leaves overall look healthy. I wouldn't suspect a disease but could be wrong. JD

Aloha Lehua, here in Kansas we have had an unusual amount of rain, tons in fact. Several of my tomato plants have done this same thing. My extention agent tells me that our rain is responsible. The last few days have been dry and hot and the leaves have stopped turning yellow at the bottom of the plant. It's gotta be the rain.

I'm from Kaneohe, Lehua. Imua!

First, the contrast and clarity of your photos is stunning! Very well done!

I would suspect fertilizer burm?

When mine get that bubbly appearence its usually after feedings.

Best of luck!

And sometimes leaves just yellow and die off. Starting from the bottom up. I have the same thing going on with some of my plants, I'm not worried. Also, if it gets hot enough, the sun can burn leaves and they end up yellowing too. Looks like you will be having some tomatoes soon, enjoy!

Mahalo Everyone,

I did put a micro-nutrient low-fert soak on. I will wait and see what happens. I have learned a great deal from everyone. Most everything I did before using the forum was wrong but I am eating ripe tomatoes. These really are tough plants. Wait till next year when I know more about what I am doing. The weather has been alternating hot and cool all spring and summer. No rain though. On the coast we do have the marine layer move in when it is cool. Thanks for the support.

Aloha and Mahalo nui loa to all.

dave1mn2,

I forgot to add this to my last post. I think you are the most correct. I over fertilized in the very beginning and have probably restricted the roots in a large hole I dug for the plant. I have not fertilized at all since preparing the hole except the soak today. I have been lucky and because I have pruned I have tomatoes to eat instead of beautiful leaves to look at. I probably have screwed up again with the soak, but like I have done all season lets see what happens.

Aloha.
